C. ater?
Marshall's book (1) page 510 shows one that looks like this. It has the black abdonem, yellow thorax with the pair of dark dorsal stripes, and the black wing tips.

No, that one has dark thorax/pronotum.
There are several on that page that like similar, though none have green eyes like mine. Of course the eye color could be variable depending on light source. To me the second and third Sabaro*cephala species look closest on that page.

My mistake
I meant image #3, C. clandestinus. I guess I liked the one with the shortest name, even if it was the wrong one:-)
