Eh eh, Polietes lardarius cf. meridionalis would solve any problem ! It is either P. lardarius or P. meridionalis, 2 distinct species (though they are not so distinct in reality) ! The golden face speaks for P. meridionalis, but it is necessary to see the colour of the anterior spiracle to be (more) sure.
Stephane.
