Tony, thank you for the determination.

According to Willi HENNIG (1941), Ch. rosae is distinguished by Ch. nigricornis by a yellow coloration of the 3rd antennal segment. In my specimen, the antenna is completely black.
Does this feature still hold true nowadays? Because from what I read, only males can be separated.
