Long time ago and only yesterday I found a few Chrysids.
I assume that they are the same species, but I will post all 4 of them,
maybe there are some pictures better.
I found them in Zeist, Holland.

Very nice pictures!
They are all Elampus sp., but which exact species i cant say - the best characters are the dimensions and puncuation of the abdomen in dorsal view, and the shape of the apical plate on the last abdominal segment (tergite 3). But that is almost impossible to get good pictures of from living specimens
Lets hope that Paolo can say what species they belong to

Hello Alex,
Thank you for your reply!
They are about 6 mm.
Next time I try to catch the back more.
These ones were nice, as they were sitting on my finger!
Regards,
Hedy

Hi Hedy,
nice pictures taken on your finger!
Do you have other views?
Based on the thoracic punctuation I would say Elampus constrictus or panzeri, but the examination of the last tergite is needed to confirm one or the second species.
Ciao
Paolo

Hello Paolo,
Are all pictures of the same species of flies?
As in chrysid 4 you may see some more of the abdomen.
I don't have a picture with wings open, maybe some other, but under the wings as a sideview.
They are vague as I focussed on the head and back.
So, it's not necessary to upload them..?
Regards,
Hedy
