It should be Prosphilus pectinicornis Ferreira & Veiga Ferreira, 1953. Hairs on thorax golden yellow. Lateral spines small and sharp. Elytral apex angulate, with sutural spine.
Quite close is Prosphilus mourgliai Adlbauer, 1995. Hairs on thorax pale. Lateral spines larger, conical. Elytral apex rounded, sutural spine well developed. - Seeing your pictures I don't think that this beetle belongs to mourgliai.
