Can you place a close-up of the antennae?

Thank you Valter. Still hard to tell if the first segment is red at the top and the second segment is red at least at the base and top. There are some disturbing or exiting differences with my specimen which has clearly reddish parts at the first two segments and de hair and bristles on on the antennae are black and on the frons above the antennae mostly black. Just a simple variety??? There are some more simple differences..... but i dare say this is a Templasilus...
