I would say, considering the country, dives/pedissequum . dives appears restricted to italy.


The abdominal membrane between each tergite and sternite is entirely yellow, except for between tergite and sternite 1 and tergite and sternite 2, where there is a broad,distinct, dark-grey band.
This make X. pedissequum impossible, as I understand it.

According to the Swiss article in the link neither X. stackelbergi nor pedissequum have darkened vingtips.
