this one bother me because it has striped eyes like a Calliopum. If this is indeed a Calliopum species, then it should be Calliopum aeneum based upon the shape of the ovipositor. Using the keys from Shatalkin, it shouldn't have black femora and the thorax shouldn't be brown or bronze. I have not seen C. aeneum myself, so I'm thrown off by the colors here. I'm new to this genus. Atleast I'm trying to help you :)
