Female - Crioscolia alcione
10 flagellomeres and 6 abdominal segments = ♀
The elevated plates, between the antennae bases are clearly visible in the face shot. This is a genus-level character trait. The other species has a body that is mostly reddish colored. (only two are species available in the genus)
