It is Sepsis, not punctum (has 0+1 dc, your female 0+2, also legs colour is too dark).

DC - I think 'dorso-centrals', which are bristles on the upper-surface of the thorax.

How do you sex these, Nikita? Especially if you go by the femora, that you don't accidentally dis-credit one like a male S. duplicata which lacks such-notable wing-gripping modifications?
