Is it possible to be sure that these specimens belong to the species Pachygaster leachii?

You may need the help of a translating service, but this is from the original description:

Die Kopfform ist sehr ähnlich der von leachi, doch tritt bei maura der Augenhinterrand oben etwas mehr hervor. Der Kopf ist ganz schwarz, das Stirndreieck an den Seiten breit weiß tomentiert. Fühler rotgelb mit weißlichgelber Borste. Der Thorax ist vorn etwas weniger überhöht wie bei leachi, rund, schwarz, glänzend und etwas dichter weißlichgrau behaart. Das Schildchen ist kurz, auffallend gerundet (bei leachi mehr dreieckig!). Flügelgeäder wie bei dieser Art, aber die Adern in der Basalhälfte des Flügels sind mit Ausnahme der an alle braun, die vorderen dunkelbraun, und in der Basalzelle liegt ein leichter grauer Schatten. Schwinger samt Stiel dunkelbraun. p gelblich; alle f dunkelbraun, mit Ausnahme des äußersten Endes. Abdomen stark gewölbt, glänzend schwarz, mit kurzer weißlicher Behaarung.
