I think this is some species of Flower Longhorn Beetle, but would like to know which one if possible. Thanks

I think that you posted this one before - it looks like Typocerus velutinus -

Specimen ID'd as Typocerus velutinus (photo below) looked like a different species to me. Sorry if this is redundant.

If you Google images of this species, you will see that the markings can vary a bit...

This is sort of the opposite of where a number of species, sometimes in different genera, look very similar. Thank you Flapdoodle for your endless assistance.

Both of those scenarios serve to point out the hazards inherent in making i.d.s from images alone - I've been hoist on my own petard more than once!
