The photo of the leg shows tarsomeres 5, 4, 3 and part of 2. Looking at your first image, I'd say the first tarsomere (next to the tibia) was longer than the second, so this should be Chaoborus. The safest way to identify it is to look at the shape of the penis valve (situated internally at the base of the gonocoxite).
