I looked at Orthorhinus cylindrirostris. While superficially similar, it seemed to be much smaller than the one I recorded before:
Orthorhinus cylindrirostris (Elephant weevil) on 12 Jan 2017
Orthorhinus klugii has similar bumps on its body, but it is much smaller than this specimen:
Orthorhinus klugii (Vine weevil) on 11 Mar 2018
Maybe we have an Orthorhinus species, but not these two.

Orthorhinus cylindrirostris, like many wood borers, is quite variable in size. The markings on this one are typical cylindrirostris.
