Chrysis sp. - Chrysis
Copyright © 2016 Steve Scholnick

Chrysis sp. - Chrysis
Brookside Gardens, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA
May 15, 2016
Size: ~8mm
Chrysis if I’ve keyed this out correctly using the Kimsey California key (1): 3 terga, apical tergum with teeth (looks like 4 of them) and a subapical pit row. Wing venation is consistent with Kimsey’s diagram of C. apontis (1) and DrawWing’s Chrysis, fore wing.

As usual, I could have gone wrong in the key so I’d appreciate confirmation/correction of the ID. If the ID can be pushed to the species level, that would be great. Thanks in advance for the help
