Pics are not very sharp. Genitalia look large (clear bulb even from this angle = corollae). Scutellum yellow-haired (= corollae/latifasciatus). Postocular orbit small near vertex [the yellow strip behind the eyes, seen from the side] (instead of broad in latifasciatus). South-European latifasciatus can have 'sunglass-like' spots on abdomen too, but these don't or hardly reach sidemargin on T2 and 3. Also I think to see a curve near the apex of the anal vein.
