Chrysis ignita group : terminata F ?

Postby jeromec » 27 May 2016 11:06

I found this female Chrysis around my parents' house : This specimen was captured juste after it went out of a cavity. This cavity was visited by a female Ancistrocerus nigricornis (but no noticed nesting).

France, (Jura Dpt) Balaiseau 5.V.2016
For me it is Chrysis terminata F : long ovipositor ; TFC caracteristic ; big punctures on T II. Thorax blue with lighter areas on pronotum & scutellum.

Yes, the toothed frontal carina can be made out in the right picture - and other supporting characters can also be seen: abdomen quite parallel sided (much more convex sides in C. ignita s.s.), T2 shining and with strong punctures anteriorly that grades into much finer punctures posteriorly, teeth on T3 sharp

Looks like a very "typical" specimen
