Hi Chrysidids fans :)

I found these pictures in my computer : I found a small Chrysis in 2016 (14 July), on soil, in Montirat (Aude, south of France, mediterranean area).

I think I found the right species but I let you look a little :-) (not common species, or mediterranean species).

Back to your ID-keys !

All the best,

Jérôme

I found this ID too :) (I use Berland and Linsenmaier 1959 & your paper on Chrysis monticola for verification).

G. le Goff (great specialist of Megachilidae) found this species as cleptoparasit of Megachilidae if I remember correctly.
