Hello,

It's a female in the "ignita-complex", it should be either Chrysis impressa or C. longula, and I'm leaning towards the former.

Nice pictures!

That's really incredible!!!!

Your pictures are absolutely fantastic!!! Congratulations!

For the ID, I would not exclude C. impressa.
I will check later.

Chrysis sp., female, in the ignita-complex, there's lots of almost identical, and variable, ... extremes of the west palearctics. However, it does look like C. longula or perhaps C. impressa, do you have any pictures of the punctures on the start of the 2nd tergite, or some ...

Yeah, the "habitus" fits very well with C. longula, but it could of course be something like a slightly oddC. impressa or something as well. Without pictures showing the really diagnostic characters its hard to be absolutely sure, at least for me

Aslo, nice pictures!

... on this tree 15 species of Chrysididae. On this tree was watching Chrysis fasciata,fulgida,gracillima,graelssi,ignita,impressa,indigotea,iris,longula,marginata,mediadentata,mediata, pseudobrevitarsis,solida and ...

Its not C. terminata or C. ignita, they have longer, sharper teeth on T3 and coarse punctation on T2, as well as a more heavier build. Its probably C. angustula, but it could be other species, like corusca, schencki, impressa etc, at least I cant rule them out.

... its a species with long ovipositor and wide, evenly arched separation of the two middle teeth of the last tergite ( longula, corusca, angustula, impressa, schencki, borealis, terminata, leptomandibularis, ignita, vanlithi, ruddii, subcoriacea ), and its extremely unlikely its any of the last ...

Ok, its clearly red/golden in part, which fits C. impressa well. I feel quite sure it should be that species

Yes, it belongs to the Chrysis ignita-complex of ca ~15 very similar species. It looks a lot like Chrysis impressa, can you take a picture of the last (3rd) segment of the abdomen? A picture of the underside of the abdomen would also be good
