Chrysis ignita-group female

Hi again,

here is an animal I saw on the 16. 10. 2016 in my local area.
Normally at this time I saw only terminata but with this animal I'm not shure
if it belongs to this species. It would be wonderful when there's someone who can say anything
more. Unfortunately I could take only pics without sun or in the direct sun. So the quality is not this...

All the best Paul

Its not C. terminata or C. ignita, they have longer, sharper teeth on T3 and coarse punctation on T2, as well as a more heavier build. Its probably C. angustula, but it could be other species, like corusca, schencki, impressa etc, at least I cant rule them out.

Thanks a lot, Alex!
For all the species you listed mid of October is a real late date of flying in our region.

All the best Paul
