Location: nature reserve Southern part The Netherlands
a rather large, elongated Chrysis on a wooden pole.
At first I thought Chrysis immaculata but the coloring is not right, mayby C. inaequalis?
Or Chrysis ignita group?

Thank you!

Hi Piet,

no, it is not Chrysis immaculata, which is characterised by the blue first segment of the abdomen, with a golden stripe on the posterior margin. This is another member of the Chrysis ignita group.

Cheers

Hi,
Today I saw this Chrysis in the center of the Netherlands. Could it be the Chrysis immaculata?
Thanks in advance.

Super ! Un grand merci à vous. C'est l'article très intéressant sur Les Chrysides de la forêt domaniale de Mormal (Locquignol, Nord), par G. Lemoine, E. Marhic et J. Carminati qui m'avait mis sur la piste de Chrysis immaculata.
Merci encore pour votre travail !

Bonjour, J'ai observé ce Chrysis de Lc = 8 mm dans les Hautes-Alpes (France, 05) sur un chemin forestier au dessus ... rouge doré de même couleur que les tergites T2 et T3. J'ai trouvé Chrysis immaculata qui lui ressemble mais il semble très rare ? Qu'en pensez-vous ? Merci d'avance ...

... paper on a very nice chrysidids in a forest on the north of France : Chrysis immaculata :wohow: with a list of species on a survey in Malaise trap of the forest. Summary ...

should be C. immaculata as there is an obvious red border at the posterior margin of the first tergite, never seen it be this obvious actually

I saw this one today in Belgium, it almost got caught by a spider, but got loose on its own.
Chrysis immaculata or fulgida?
