Congratulations Frank,

in a very short time you became a real expert!
All you ID are correct.

I can only add:
Hedychridium:
- Hedychridium sp. (femoratum ?) is H. jucundum (it has a large black spot on T2, but femora and tibiae are metallic, not yellowish)
- Hedychridium sp. (Spain) should be a male of H. incrassatum (with a swelling on apical margin of T3)

- Chrysis succincta ? (from Spain). It belongs to this group, but there are two small teeth on the apical margin of T3. It could be C.griboidi (I don't have material to compare with), but there are other similar species there. I need to check it.

- Chrysis ignita group: it seems a Chrysis ruddii

Cheers

Fantastic Paolo! Well, Im not expert, I still have a lot to learn especially about Hedychridium spp.

Btw, here are some other specimens that I couldn't identify! They all come from Soria, Spain;

1st species :








2nd species :

And some others, Chrysis ramburi Soria, Spain :

Holopyga chrysonota ? Soria, Spain




Holopyga sp. Soria, Spain




And it's weird in a such habitat but I think this is a Pseudomalus auratus found in the low vegetation by swiping. Soria, Spain :

Chrysis peninsularis from Soria, Spain, a nice female :





and a male :

Again Chrysis succincta group, but from the shape of T3, those specimens are not related to C. gribodoi as the previous one. Soria, Spain :

I published previously the female, here is Chrysis pyrophana male. Soria, Spain :

What I believe to be Chrysis mixta ?

Only bad pictures of this one. Soria, Spain :

Another Chrysis sp. Soria, Spain :
