Hi Brian,

maybe a pseudo-melanic form of Chrysis analis?

I encountered this Chrysis sp. in the collection of the RNMH. It was labeled as Chrysis analis , but obviously it is not that species. Found in Northwestern Italy in the summer of 2012. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/588311962245660683/958332745380151306/IMG_3178.jpg ...

Some other Chrysids of the trips

Stilbum calens found at St Jean de Buèges, France :



Chrysis viridula found at Col de la Cayolle, France :



Chrysis analis found at Soria, Spain :

Chrysis analis, from Aix en Provence, France :

nr 1 and 3 should be Chrysis analis males

nr 2 is C. inaequalis female

nr 4 is a Hedychrum sp., it's likely H. gerstaeckeri

nr 5 is a Holopyga c.f. generosa female

Gorgeous pictures as always!

Thank you for your reply.
What are the criteria differentiating Chrysis analis from Chrysis graelsii?

this should be Chrysis analis, perhaps it is not usually this dark, but chrysidids often become darker with higher altitude (or latitude for that matter)

first one should be a male Chrysis analis, the last one a male Chrysis sexdentata
