Hi Vlad,

where did you collect it?

For sure it is not H. jucundum.
The yellow colour of the legs is typical of the elegantulum subgroup.
The long last flagellomere is similar to the one of femoratum Dahlbom. But the general habitus with different colour, punctuation of the mesonotum and femura not metallic on the external side do not match the typical femoratum .

Check in Semenov's works if there's something similar.

Hi, Paolo!

I collected it on Daucus carota, near of the river, 55°40'9.52"N,52°21'34.10"E (Google Earth)
I decided to identify this chrysidid as Hedychridium femoratum (Dahlbom, 1854) using keys from book
of Nikolskaya, M. N. (1978. Chrysidoidea. - In: Opredelitel nasecomij yevropeiscoy chasti SSSR 3
(1) Medvedev G. S. (ed.), Akademii Nauk SSSR: 58-71 (66 p.))
Thanks for information about species of genus Hedychridium.

Best regards,
Vladimir
