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 :) Was a specimen taken?

No. I am only a photographer :)

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.

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