despite their showy appearance, those are confusingly variable and often do not lend themselves to nailing from photos at all :)
this one, however, clearly shows the blue tinge and the transverse depression across the elytra, both features being reportedly diagnostic of C. terminale

Central Band

Can another defining feature be that if the central band is present it "bleeds" up the center of the elytra to meet the pronotum?
