This is an old shot from 2008. I wondered if it could be identified. Photo taken in Puerto Lumbreras, Murcia, SE Spain, 27/03/2008.

Do you have any shots of the tip of the abdomen? The "teeth" there are very important for basically all Chrysis spp

Unfortunately, no. These are old photographs of mine. I was not aware of what I had to shoot at the time.

Im actually thinking it might be a male C. subsinuata, as it looks as like it totally lack teeth on tergite 3. I sadly only have a female in my collection, so I can't compare it, but I have a few C. pyrophana males - will have a look

Edit: Its hard to tell really, I'm leaning towards C. pyrophana or C. peninsularis (its very closely related to the former, and males are hard to distinguish only some slight differences on the T3 teeth and genitalia), but without a male C. subsinuata I cant be sure.
