12 mm, north-east Laos.
I think it is Falsanoplistes antennarius Holzschuh, 2010 (type specimen from the same locality).

When Cerambycids move, they use to have antenna straight ahead, for touching: antenna are sensitive appendices. I do not know the exact function of hairs for this species. May be somebody knows more on this forum...
