Hmm, not sure - I have never seen a rhinophorid with red abdomenal side-patches but the long petiole certainly indicates a rhinophorid. Would be nice to hear from Theo on this one Smile Was a specimen taken?

Several species of Stevenia have red abdominal patches, like S. fausti and S. pannonica.

As far as I can see without consulting my collection, both species are possible from this picture.

Thanks for the clarification Liekele - here in the UK I never see Stevenia Sad

I agree. Stevenia. You can see the 'Peleteria'bristles very clearly.
