Hi Bert, I think F. fumipennis is correct:
The Ferdinandea key in Speight & Sarthou implies:
"the two longitudinal stripes of grey dusting on the mesoscutum indistinct posteriorly, usually not reaching its posterior margin; stigma bicoloured, mostly yellow, but with a brown stripe between the apex of vein Sc and vein R..."
And if I compare my Ferdinandea cuprea with rather indistinct stripes, they do not have that bicoloured stigma.
Greetings, Eric
