Taxonomy

Chrysidea and Trichrysis are closely related and probably they should be considered the same genus. For example, some authors consider the species Chrysidea pumila as a synonym of Trichrysis pumilionis Linsenmaier, 1987. [2]

This genus includes small species, from 3 to 6 mm, with variable colors ranging from green and blue-green to blue. [3]

Commonly known as cuckoo wasps or emerald wasps, the hymenopteran family Chrysididae is a very large cosmopolitan group of parasitoid or kleptoparasitic wasps, often highly sculptured, with brilliant metallic colors created by structural coloration. They are most diverse in desert regions of the world, as they are typically associated with solitary bee and wasp species, which are also most diverse in such areas. Their brood parasitic lifestyle has led to the evolution of fascinating adaptations, including chemical mimicry of host odors by some species.
