Forum Entomologi Italiani

when I have been in Greece I have collected also some chrysidid... for now two... in the next post will be the biggest chrysidid I have seen (this after the biggest clerid ).

so, collected in 28.may.2010 in Peloponnese (38.161816/21.390235), size of the specimen 8-9 mm.

Is possible to put a name after photos?

Grazie,
cosmln

Probably Chrysis ignita Linnaeus, 1758.

Hi Cosmin

this time is more difficoult to ID.
It could be a female of Chrysis inaequalis Dahlbom, but in Peloponnese Chrysis mysticalis Linsenmaier seems to be quite common as well.
In Peloponnese the abdominal punctuation of inaequalis is larger than in specimens from W-Europe and it is more similar to the one of Chrysis mysticalis. I should examine the specimen for a better ID.

Per il titolo si può mettere Chrysis gruppo inaequalis.
Ciao
Paolo
