Hi Yvan,
how are you? It was a long time ago...
I think you are right. I checked my collection, and pulchellus always has a pale spot behind eyes, which may lack in triangulum. I was disturbed by the pale yellow body color, but both species are somewhat variable. So it is most probable triangulum
Regards, Christian

Hi Christian!
I'm fine, thank you!
I agree with you, it's difficult to give a name without having the specimen
best regards, yvan
