Dear Paolo,
again please ID this Chrysura. If it´s Chrysura austriaca, it has got mandibles with two teeth unlike previous Chrysura, which you ID.
Please help, I´m at my wits´ end...
Libor

Dear Libor

your specimen is a typical Chrysura austriaca (Fabricius).
Species in the austriaca group are without teeth on mandibulae.
Also long and subparallel malar spaces (genae) are characteristical for this species group.

Cheers
Paolo

P.S. good pictures!

Hi Henrik, Thank you for your replica.Unfortunately I do not have photo TIII (no 16),yes,accept name C.indigotea Thank Pepik Hi Alex, thank you for your replica.I do not have a website,I was a guest at BWARS http://www.bwars.com/index.php?q=species_gallery Some photos used Luca for Chrysis.net http:...

... change the name indica on my webpage and in my collection as well. I have more than 50 specimens from my last trip to Croatia, there are Chrysis, Chrysura, Stilbum, Omalus, Hedychrum and Spintharina so I have to determine them with help of Pavel Tyrner. Cheer Pavel

Hi Pavel! Fantastic pictures!!! Yes, this one should be Chrysura austriaca (Fabricius). I quickly checked your page, and it's really beautiful. I have only one suggestion ...

I have found this nice species on old tree in floodplain forest. More pictures of cuckoo wasps from this and next places in my new article (only in Czech), but most important are pictures

... because some pictures are really interesting (i.e. Chrysis equestris with parasites). All your species are correctly ID, even if the name Holopyga austriaca does not exist (It's a Tyrner mistake) and probably your Chrysis leachii could be a male of Chrysis lanceolata Linsenmaier. Best Regards Paolo ...
