With Apaustus gracilis you were really very close. Take a look at the colors of the antennae. Apaustus gracilis has complete black antennae tips and the markings/venetion seem in my eyes being stronger and slightly "thicker" compared to yours:

That's why I think it is Callimormus radiola. Please, looks at these pictures to compare the antennae with the whitish part at the end of the club and the markings:
