Chrysis mediata? -> Chrysis cf. impressa

Postby FrankAe » 08 Jun 2023 01:21

Hello,
I found this specimen at a nesting site of Odynerus spinipes close to Neustadt (Germany, Lower Saxony: 52.491603, 9.467709) at 03-Jun-2023. Would it be possible to determine the species please?
I assume it is Chrysis mediata, because it was inspecting the O. spinipes nests.
Thank you and best regards
Frank

Does not remind me of Chrysis mediata, chrysidids are not very host specific, and can have many "non-main" hosts, as well as a propensity of inspecting any and all holes and nests they come across. This looks like C. impressa to me, but not possible to say for sure
