Hello,
I am new on this forum. Living in Brittany (France), Chrysidids are very interesting to me and I'm trying to collect and determinate the specimens that I catch in my walks and travels.
I caught this one 4 days ago in the southern Alps in France (Saint-André-les-Alpes, 04170), two females : one on a sandy floor, near to tubes of solitary Vespidae and the other one flying around a dead trunk.
At first i tought it was Chrysis chrysostigma, that I never found, but the two red spots on the third tergite are joining. So i don't know if it can be a variation of C.chrysostigma or if it's another species that I don't know.
I join pictures of the specimen, third tergite and sternites.
Sorry if I made mistakes in my writings, my english is not perfect.
