The genitalia would confirm your hypothesis |t
Indeed, the genitalia of fasciata present in the gonostyli (=dististyle), a sinuous upper style and a narrow bare lower style, and a tooth-like process on the inner side of the gonocoxite (=basistylus). The genitalia of unicolor and discoloria are clearly different. I have not found (yet) illustrations of bicolor, excelsa, and persimilis but I would be surprised if they have genitalia identical to fasciata.
Edit: it is definitely Orfelia fasciata; see my post below.
