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

Hallo Tjitske.

The specimen belongs to the genus Chrysis, not to Hedychrum.

For the color pattern and the shape of the anal margin I can say that the specimens belongs to the Chrysis succincta species group, maybe a female of Chrysis gribodoi Abeille, 1877.
