Hi Cor,

Hi Paolo,
Chrysis pyrophana is in succincta group ? (with this T III margin ?)

[Euchroeus]

Hi Jerome,

yes, correct, succincta group.
Its apical margin is not so strange, many other species have a similar T3 in this group (actually there's an entire subgroup with elongated teeth, from C. grohmanni to C. variana, etc.)
