Hi Simone. This is a scarab beetle, but in a different group (Melolonthinae) to genus Dasygnathus. I'll have to do more investigation to narrow it down.

Thanks Kim, I only picked Dasygnathus because of the similarity to this record Dasygnathus sp. (genus) (Rhinoceros beetle) , but I wasn’t sure it was quite big enough
