Looking at the specimens of C. germana on iNaturalist I'm not sure this specimen is that species. C. germana specimens there show a more proninent whitist head in the dorsal plan view and there are filamentous antennae. I think this specimen doesn't clearly show those features. This specimen shows a faint, white dorsal line.

Despite the quality of the first image C. citrolimaria looks like it would fit. The distinctive shape in plan view is apparently the same. And the pale underside looks like it matches including the prominent 'veining' and the black central mark on the thorax
