Many thanks for your help, Alex!

Does not remind me of Chrysis mediata, chrysidids are not very host specific, and can have many "non-main" hosts, as well as a propensity of inspecting any and all holes and nests they come across. This looks like C. impressa to me, but not possible to say for sure

... Would it be possible to determine the species please? I assume it is Chrysis mediata, because it was inspecting the O. spinipes nests. Thank you and best regards Frank ...

... paper on a very nice chrysidids in a forest on the north of France : Chrysis immaculata :wohow: with a list of species on a survey in Malaise ... Chrysis fulgida, Chrysis immaculata, Chrysis schencki, Chrysis mediata, Chrysis cf. leptomandibularis, Chrysis sp. (à déterminer)(groupe ...

Hi Paul, For the species that you're not found, I think it is Chrysis varidens ? This species is common in mediterranean area, I was very ... by me (calimorpha group ; viridula group ; splendidula/insperata ; mediata/mediadentata/solida* ; rutiliventris/ruddii, problems in Cleptes, Elampus, ...

Thanks for your intention! In my opinion I would like to rule out C. ruddii. There are some details that don't fit with this species. This season I saw C. ruddii several times at another location. I met the shown species again and could take some other pics. Perhaps they can help? All The best Paul ...

With these golden reflects on pronotum & scutellum, and the dense small puncture on T II, I think it is Chrysis ruddii, not ? (but here the 3rd antennal segment has blue reflect, whereas ruddii has not a blue reflect, or very small).

... I took a short trip to my local area. There I saw a male of a species I couldn't meet before in that area. I guess that it's probably a male of C. mediata. I would be pleased if it could be confirmed or get another label. :) Thanks! Paul comp_P5020166.jpg comp_P5020117.jpg comp_P5020157.jpg

... on this tree 15 species of Chrysididae. On this tree was watching Chrysis fasciata,fulgida,gracillima,graelssi,ignita,impressa,indigotea,iris,longula,marginata,mediadentata,mediata, pseudobrevitarsis,solida and Trychrisis cyanea...This is fantastic tree. Here are ...

Chrysis sp. in the ignita-complex. Looks a lot like Chrysis mediata Linsenmaier, 1951 to me, its at least the "mediata-subgroup (solida, mediadentata, pseudobrevitarsis etc), and not one of the short-footed species (brevitarsis, pseudobrevitarsis)
