A more "artistic" shot of the same male Chrysis chrysoprasina specimen, but as it shows some useful characters I might as well share it here.

Hi Alex,

I forgot

Your Hedychridium is a female of Hedychridium ibericum Linsenmaier.

Hi Alex,

I forgot

Your Hedychridium is a female of Hedychridium ibericum Linsenmaier.

Thanks! I remember comparing the specimen to Linsenmaier's description of it, but for some reason I didnt consider it to be a perfect match - will have to go back and re-evaluate it

Still photographing these specimens every now and then, this one was a nice surprise! A really pretty, but tiny (its even smaller then H. monochroum!), species:
Hedychridium carmelitanum Mercet, 1915, female, collected in Soria, on the hills southeast border of town, above the river Duero.
