Dear Andreas, thanks a lot for your help!

I looked up the description by Breuning. It seems close enough, though not perfect. I excerpted part of it as follows:

Dunkelbraun, gelb tomentiert; der ganze Körper, die Schenkel und die 3 ersten Fühlerglieder dicht mit kleinen dunkelbraunen Flecken übersät, die stellenweise miteinander verfließen. Auf jeder Decke 3 fahlgelbe linienförmige Binden : eine premediane, die schief von der Naht gegen die Schulter zu ansteigt, eine postmediane, die schief zum Seitenrand absteigt und eine ebenso gelagerte prä-apikale. Die Fühlerglieder 4 bis 11 braun tomentiert, die Basis der Glieder 4 und 5 fahlgelb tomentiert. Schienen rotbraun tomentiert mit 2 fahlgelben Ringen, einem basalen und einem postmedianen. Tarsen fahlgelb tomentiert.

It seems the dark brown spots in my specimen are more pervasive (?): antennal segment 4 is still quite well scattered with brown spots. It is also a bit difficult to judge without the type specimen whether the antennal and leg tomentum in my specimen are as described in the text; it doesn't seem quite right. I attached close-up of the antenna and legs of my specimen
