ID welcome for this small Chrysis (6.5mm) from coastal clay on the Algarve, Portugal.

Its a Chrysis sp in the succincta group, looks like something like C. grohmanni or close to it

Hi Alex

Chrysis grohmanni is a possibility - its on the Portuguese list. What other species are in the succincta group?

Many Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

even if the apical teeth are very sharp and spaced out,
C. grohmanni is the only known species with this peculiar colouration in the Iberian Peninsula.

Hi Paolo

It is an unusual colour scheme.
Many Thanks

Ian
