With that petiole I assume Rhinophoridae!?

I tries to follow the Stevenia key and can't get it to fit. Almost all Stevenia (except S. acutangula with short petiole and S. fernandezi which is endemic to Canary Island) should have "abdomen mainly black except for posterior 1/2?1/4 of tergite 5 which is red". Perhaps I'm missing something ...

Dr. Hans-Peter Tschorsnig said that:

- Most probably Minthodes (Pseudomintho) diversipes (Strobl, 1899)
