Chrysidid wasp from Azerbaijan

I got 3 specimens of Chrysididae from Azerbaijan. Can anybody tell me which species it could be? I think it could be a Chrysura species (cuprea?). Length of the wasps is 9-11 mm. Many thanks

Hi Rudolf,

you're right.
However, just to be sure, I need to see:
1) the anal margin of the last tergite in back view: I want to see if the anal margin is apically simple or thicken with a broad black stripe;
2) the thorax in lateral view: I need to see the shape of the metanotal projection.

Cheers
Paolo

Many thanks Rudolf,

I would say female of Chrysura cuprea demelti Linsenmaier, 1987
