Thank you Craig Williams, I knew it would be appreciated

Yes, but for me it has a little bit too much black spots on its back. It could be that they are again quite variable.

I know, but it looks pretty close to Zopherus nodulosa.

My closest guess would be Zopherus nodulosa nodulosa. But I am not sure. Some beetle freaks have to confirm or help otherwise... http://itp.lucidcentral.org/id/wbb/IroncladID/IroncladID-Zopherus.html
