Thank you Villu Soon for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~12mm long. We thought this was Chrysis lincea as we thought she had 5 teeth. However, Villu showed us she had more and so lifted our id to genus level. She has 6 teeth on the apical margin of the third abdominal segment. | |||||
