I'm lost.
HU in a strong triangle is not Carcelia.
You would key out to Amelibaea with the features mentioned. However, the vertex is too narrow, the gena too narrow, the bristles and hairs on parafrontal don't fit.l
(I have one male).
Neither Carcelia nor Amelibaea have the ocellars lateroclinate.
With hairy coxa 3, there is not much more left:
Tryphera is black and has topcell stalked, it is clearly not Huebneria....

You specimen disagrees with Carcelia now on two points: 3 STPL and setting of HU.

In my English translation of Zimin in BeiBeinko I don't read anything on 3 STPL in Carcelia and Richter 2004 in Russian Far East is also very clear on this: 2 STPL.

So if 3 STPL occur in Carcelia, it is pretty aberrant.

Finally, there are some Phebellia with hairy hind coxa from China and Japan. I have one such a specimen from Finland. BUt I don't see this getting a Phebellia: head profile does not fit. only 3 HU....

So, I'm lost
