is it possible to make the difference between C. speciosa and C. formosa from this picture ?

and if so, what should make the difference ? (i got several pictures of this one from late june and early july 2009).

Loire-atlantique, western France, 1st of july 2009.

yep. formosa or speciosa. I don't see the "hairs" above the antennae. If black --> speciosa. The tarsi seems to be a little yellowish... but it is not trusty... yellow tarsi means C. speciosa.

unfortunately my pictures don't allowed an informative close up on the hairs above the antennas ...:@
