Hi Hedy,

your specimen belongs to the genus Elampus and should be constrictus Foerster sensu Moczar (1964) [= panzeri Fabricius sensu Linsenmaier 1959].
To be sure 100% I should examine at least the anal margin, but the shape of the fore femura is simple and thus should exclude the similar panzeri sensu Moczar.
[I know it is complicated with nomenclature ;)]

I cannot say if it male or female. If you want to separate males from females you have to examine the setae under the genae (on the head).

Ciao

Hello Paolo,

I'm happy that this chrysid can be recognized. We have in our list Elampus constrictus Foerster, so I may put it there as uncertain. Thanks for your reaction!
Thanks you also for adjusting all the titles, looks very good!!

Regards,
Hedy
