    It should be Thoressa honorei. Correction: Cephrenes acalle female.

    Pic 1 shows the broad end of a female & longer profile.
    UnH have exceptionally wide black spots, likely an aberration.

    Pic 3 shows the UpF without a spot in space 1b. UnF with a broad spot in space 1b.

    As stated the male honorei is typically without any spot in space 1b, while the female may have a lower spot.

    The abdominal end is tawny in the male but dark shaded dorsally in the female.

    The only similar species is T. masoni. Range; Myanmar & eastwards.
    UpF with spots in space 1b forming a band with spots 2 & 3.
    UnH spots are typically heavier. (in honorei, UnH black spots obsolete in DSF.)
    Abdominal end strongly black-banded.
