Hi everyone,

it's a female of Chrysis marginata Mocsary. It's a South-eastern Mediterranean (and Turanic) species recently arrived in Italy (around the 60's). Linsenmaier described this form as Chrysis marginata ssp. aliunda.

male of Chrysis marginata Mocsáry

Linsenmaier described this form as marginata ssp. aliunda (W subspecies), but this species is quickly spreading in W European countries, so that it is impossible to separate it from the typical form.
