 Found it last week on the leaves of the butterfly-bush (Buddleja davidii) in my garden, Kapellen, Belgium. Is it Chrysis ignita, another Chrysis species or is it impossible to tell? Thanks in advance!

 Impossible to tell. Even with a specimen it is extremely difficult to tell C ignita apart from three or four closely related species.

 I agree with Nigel - I sent a large number of specimens that I had guessed were all C.ignita to a specialist called Villu Soon in Estonia. I don't think there were any ignita amongst them but it did turn up some very nice, more unusual species Smile

Villu would be very interested to receive any chrysidid wasps from anywhere in the world Smile

I rather do not think that it is Chrysis, Omalus gold Pseudomalus perhaps auratus?

 OK, thanks a lot Camille! What charachteristics make you think this is Pseudomalus rather than Chrysis?

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
