Hi,
yesterday I took a short trip to my local area.
There I saw a male of a species I couldn't meet before in that area.
I guess that it's probably a male of C. mediata. I would be pleased
if it could be confirmed or get another label.
Thanks!
Paul

With these golden reflects on pronotum & scutellum, and the dense small puncture on T II, I think it is Chrysis ruddii, not ? (but here the 3rd antennal segment has blue reflect, whereas ruddii has not a blue reflect, or very small).

Thanks for your intention!
In my opinion I would like to rule out C. ruddii.
There are some details that don't fit with this species.
This season I saw C. ruddii several times at another location.
I met the shown species again and could take some other pics.
Perhaps they can help?
All The best Paul
