For me it is not Chrysura : I see a cavity on the head, and white hairs... may be Chrysis ? (but I never seen Euchroeus or other genus of Chrysidini except Chrysra & Chrysis).

Hi!

it's a male of the Chrysura dichroa group. All the specimens in this group have a weak scapal basin.
Bogdan, did you collect the specimen?
It looks like a male of C. laevigata for the long malar spaces, but I think that without genitalia dissection is not possible to ID the specimen for sure.

I do not collect insects. Just take pictures. Cuckoo wasp rarely meet
