Chrysis , Spain

[Jose Ignacio]

Hi
Antonio Robledo photographed this Chrysidid in Murcia, SE Spain, 13.7.2012.
I think this is Chrysis merceti...

Thanks

Hi José,

intersting!
Usually Chrysis merceti has the two green spots on pronotum with lower margin connected to the margin of the pronotum. In your specimen the green spots are clearly separated from the margin. I should see other characters, as the shape of T3, etc. Do you have other pictures?

Ciao
