My guess would be C. fraterna, because of the absence of dark markings on the hind tibia and the absence of scutellar marginal bristles. But St. Petersburg is too far away from me to be certain.
(By the way, C. "himantopa" is incorrect spelling: it's himantopus. It's a noun in apposition, meaning 'stilt foot'. "-pa" doesn't mean anything...)
