Chrysis hohmanni ? Fuerteventura

[Mirex]

Would it be possible to ID the species I found in Betancuria (Fuerteventura) on 04-02-2019? The individual was feeding on some Euphorbia plant. Its body length was about 10 mm.

For me here, the postscutellum is angulate : Chrysura sp (radians group).

With this postscutellum, I think of several possibilities : varicornis, sulcata, refulgens, trimaculata (& rufiventris?).

Hi!

Because of the elongate shape of the head, I suppose that this could be another endemic species:
Chrysis hohmanni Linsenmaier.
It belongs to the Chrysis pulchella group and its apical margin of the last tergite is toothless, similarly to Chrysura

Great!

Dear Paolo,
Thanks for your identification of the species on my pictures from Fuerteventura.
Best regards,

Hmm, can this really be a Chrysis sp in the hydropica-group? (at least it says it's the hydropica-group in Linsenmaiers original description)? The apical pit row is not that deeply set, it's not very short and convexly shaped, the hairs are black on the head+mesosoma, and the habitus really seems like a Chrysura sp close to rufiventris/sulcata. It doesnt perfectly match my one Chrysura rufiventris specimen, but it is close.
