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:

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.
