Chrysis (oculata group) Female
Posted: 18 Sep 2013 03:04
I'm sure this is a species in the oculata group, somewhere close to the species Chrysis stilboides, but if its truly this or another I'm not sure. Linsenmaier 1959 mentions that there are still "Mehrere Spezies (hier nicht alle aufgeführt)" taxa in the stilboides group in the subgenera Pyria, but from what I can see he does not mention any of them in his later works?
Dont know if much more can be said from just pictures, but I have not seen any with diagnostic characters for this species group before so I might as well post them. And its a beautiful big beast of a Chrysis
