Hi Jerome,

yes, correct, succincta group.
Its apical margin is not so strange, many other species have a similar T3 in this group (actually there's an entire subgroup with elongated teeth, from C. grohmanni to C. variana, etc.)

Fantastic, next species for my collection

It's a male of Chrysis grohmanni bolivari Mercet

Ciao!
