Among my collection of what I assume to be mostly C. relictus.
I have this lager specimen that looks quite different, I understand that
C. relictus can be quite variable but as far as I can tell black spots on 2nd
tergum are not connected but touching the 1st tergum.

I believe in lighter C. relictus, bu wait for Theo.

I see your point. Still, I agree, it is relictus, based on leg colouration, wing pattern, etc.

Indeed, a variable species !
