Chrysis, strange proportions?, Italy. Probably C. inequalis

Postby briang » 03 Jun 2023 11:22

28 May 2023. Rocky trackside bank, Val d’Arda, N. Apennines, Italy. Another basically blue and red chrysidid, but seemed to have a proportionally small abdomen but large head: or is that just my imagination? Or is it a puny male? Any advice on identification, if possible from these photos, would be much appreciated!

It looks like Chrysis inaequalis or mysticalis, usually the second has purple reflections ont the third tergite so I would prefer inaequalis.

Thank you again Thibault! I don’t think I have any more useful images so I will catalogue this one as a ‘possible’ inaequalis. Your help is really appreciated.
