for a species i do not have in my collection i can only be sure with a specimen in front of me (and even then not every time). Photos can so often be deceptive. but if i could be sure of leg colour i think we could key it with 90% certainty.

female cruciatus has a white band across abdomen, see http://www.diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=1866
