Hello,

A Chrysididae found in North of France, Oxelaere, the 01 July 2018, on a stone statue, in a garden
Maybe a Chrysis ignita ?

Best regards,

Hello,

It's a female in the "ignita-complex", it should be either Chrysis impressa or C. longula, and I'm leaning towards the former.

Nice pictures!

Hello Alex,

Thanks you very much for your reply ! and the compliments !
Do you know what I should show on pictures to separate the two ?

Hi,

I'm not sure, I feel more confortable with C. impressa for the punctuation on T2 not so coarse, olive (?) colour on mesoscutum, first tarsomere of metatibia longer, yet the lateral margin of T3 is slighlty arcuate.

Do you have a picture of the black spots on the second sternite?
