Hello, I think one this is C. gribodoi (and not C. succincta), regarding the punctation and the last tergite. Any opinion ? Thanks.

I would say Chrysis tristicula Linsenmaier (= Chrysis succincta succinctula sensu Linsenmaier, 1959).

Hi Guillermo,

yes, you're right.
Unfortunately the main characters are not visibile,
however it looks like Chrysis tristicula Lins. (= C. succinctula sensu Lins.).

Hi Pavel

it's a similar species belonging to the Chrysis succincta group.
This one should be the male of Chrysis succincta succinctula Dahlbom.
Could take a picture in semi-lateral view of the last tergite?

Hallo Paolo,

Thank you so much! I'm very happy that a definite ID was possible. I will change the name again.

Hi everyone,

this is a female of Chrysis succincta succinctula Dahlbom, 1845 (sensu Linsenmaier 1959).
The female of gribodoi Abeille has 2 closely related teeth at the apex of T-III, while the females of bicolor Lepeletier and illigeri Wesmael have 4 anal teeth.

Cheers
