In fact: it is Saphanidus viridescens Jordan, 1894. |

It should belong to Saphanidus Jordan, 1894 (Xystrocerini), a genus related to Metallyra.
Nonetheless, I am not completely sure since Adlbauer described an extremely similar, monobasic genus (Gabunsaphanidius) basing it on apparently specific characters. |
