Hello everyone,
It hasn't been long since I got into Chrysididae.
I am from Belgium so there are still a lot less species than in the south. But hard hard without references especially for the Chrysis.
So here is a Chrysis that I had in my garden at the window trap.
Thank you in advance for your help
Excuse my English

Belgium (Hainaut) Courcelles 6180 - 30.VII.2021 - Size: 7.5 mm

Hello,
Could it be Chrysis corusca?

Hi David,

For me corusca is slender, here I think it is a female of the ignita complex (maybe terminata if you have a better vue of the transversal carina, or ignita, horridula*, parietis*...).


* What do you think Paolo about these both species ? criterium are very hard to use, especially for made the mesures for use the key of northern part of the central Europe (OrlovskytÄ— &al 2016).

The frontal carina is quite well developed but less well than on the C.terminata that I have. But it's true that it looks like it. Is it very variable at terminata?
Here are 2 photos
