That's right, crystallinus has the abdomen uniformly dark and unbanded with the femora unicolorous, not darkened apically.

In flavicans and obscuripes the abdomen appears at least partly light and dark banded. The femora are blackish apically only in obscuripes.

I was only discounting crystallinus because on the link with Nikita's he had said:

Abdomen unicolor, dark grey, f unicolor - Ch. crystallinus
