What is needed for the species identification?

Hi

at present only 2 species are known in Turkey: T. cyanea and T. pellucida.

I exclude T. pellucida. Your specimen is closely related to T. cyanea.
Nevertheless from central Asia there are other similar species, which should be also distributed in E Turkey.

A first good starting point for species ID is the shape of the black spots on T2.

(see:

Cheers.

Thank you for your information. Trichrysis cyanea very similar in my opion. What's your diagnosis for certain species?
