discussion
Remarks. The species is common and widespread in the Nordic and Baltic countries. It is especially closely related to C. ignita, Chrysis sp. (see below) and C. schencki. The females are usually morphologically distinctive, but the males are often difficult to determine (Smissen 2010 a), and DNA barcoding is recommended for their identification (Soon et al. 2014). The species is here reported as being new to Denmark and Latvia, based on specimens deposited in NMLS in Luzern, ZMUC in Copenhagen and LMSZ in Riga.
