Similarly with this beetle – the genus ID is likely Dasytes, but getting the species is trickier.

It looks similar to one of the most common though, D. plumbea (🇩🇪 Bleischwarzer Wollhaarkäfer).

The name used to be D. plumbeus, but was revised in 2024, as the latinised Greek word "dasytes" is feminine.
