I have to agree with Tony.
A much more crucial and better feature than the colouration of pleurae is the length of the third antennal segment. The third antennal segment is definitely short on the picture, unless it is very misleading, that is, shorter than the second. This rules out Rh. scolopaceus.
Moreover, as pointed out by Paul, July is clearly not in favour of scolopaceus.
In latipennis, in males the eyes should be separated, which I don't see on the picture. So in my opinion Juergen was right from the beginning: strigosus.
