Difficult, looks intermediate. in thise cases, check the subgenital plate.

sorry, it does not.
The subgenital plate is above (in your pic: below) the last sternite.
So you need to break away the last sternite with an insect pin (thin one !), while making sure you don’t hit the plate itself. The platme looks somewhat mushroom-shaped.
Or check the introduction of “the”. book for illustrations.
