In the gallery, Nikita says that Cetema cereris is characterized by a white arista and white hairs on sternites 1 and 2. We can't see this criterion on my picture. But one can also see that the scutellar setae are clearly black.

In France, according to TaxRef, we could have 5 different species.

Is it possible to bring some logic to this?
Thanks in advance.
