Posted: 20 May 2016 11:33Chrysis sp may be (marginal cell is closed, I see a facial cavity). But without the posterior margin of the gaster, I can not confirm.

superfantastic pictures Ian!
I would say Chrysis perezi ... that's really interesting, also for giving the name of the possible host.
Thanks!

Many thanks for that - very quick work. Do you have the author for Chrysis perezi - it doesn't seem to be on Fauna Europaea?
Ciao
