Hi!

Most useful character seen is the wide and short ovipositor. Although it is not fully extended it is still certain judging from the distal edges of the tergites, of which the ovipositor is formed. The species with longer ovipositor have this edge much more pointed than this one. Since it does not look like C. pseudobrevitarsis nor C. brevitarsis it can be only C. mediata or C. solida. Unfortunately I can't say with certainty which of the last two species it is.

Regards,
Villu
