Yes :D 2 dark longitudinal bars on the thorax, so it's Mintho :)

This time correct, but beware that related genera like Minthodes share the same features and do occur in the Alps.

Theo - is the identification between those genera done on "petiole" (Mintho) or "no petiole" (Minthodes), as implied in the Central European key?

The other Minthoini lack the appendix to the bend of vein M.
