Thanks for all comments.
May be Parahelichus angulicollis is correct. Before I find P. angulicollis in a close area.

Best regards.

You asked about this species before 10/10/2014 So almost 4 years ago

Yes looks like Parahelichus angulicollis Reitter, 1887
Very characteristic lobes on sides of pronotum.

Here you have the key if you want to check distinguishing features
