:welcome: Rui,


your Chrysidid very likely should be Chrysis rutilans Olivier,
even if there's the possibility that belongs to Chrysis insperata Chevrier, but I need to check the specimens to be sure.

Cheers
Paolo

Hi Rui,

I'm sorry, but it' s impossible to be sure about the ID of this species, because I need to check the black spots on the second sternite (on the ventral surface of the abdomen). Therefore without direct specimen examination I cannot say more.

Cheers
Paolo
