This Rhaphium female was found in a wet forest close to a lake in Sweden. Unusually long postpedicel for a female. Frons shining steel blue. Any ideas?

Magnus, females of Rhaphium are indeterminable (except longicorne).

Thank you! Since this female was so different from others I have seen I hoped that it should be possible to say which species it is. I will go back and find a male! :)
