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.
