Chrysis.net Forum

Hello,
I saw this Chrysidid next to Madrid the last spring (29.5.2011).
Checking Fauna Ibérica I think perhaps is Chrysis chrysoscutella (or chrysoscutalla) but is difficult for me to be sure and I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks.

¡HolaJose!

Bienvenido

yes, it's Chrysis chrysoscutella Linsenmaier.

The correct name is chrysoscutella and literally means: with golden scutellum.
You can recognize by the green margin of the scutellum, the anal margin of the last tergite weakly undulate, the pits of the row of pits enlarged if compared with those of C. germari.

Best Regards
Paolo

Thanks a lot, Paolo!

Best regards.
