Z. renardii is correct...
Some visual characters include the reddish tinge to the corium, the short acute tooth of the humeral angles, the shorter habitus and the darkened reticulations of the anterior pronotal lobe and head. Many of these are based on comparison only and there are certainly exceptions in nearly all these characters but they are things to watch for.
