In principle, a very nice female Ch. splendidus !

One can nicely see the greenish colour on the abdomen. The only problem is there is a cryptic species from France (torrentium), of which we don’t know the female.

I wouldn’t bother because nobody can tell. As long as the male of torrentium has not been found in Italy, let’s go for splendidus.
