Axima zabriskiei Howard, female
Moved from Eurytomidae. ID'd from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks Lisa.

Really cool wasp that uses Ceratina carpenter bees as its host. Down in South America, there are species of this genus that are really bizarre looking with stalked eyes.

Eurytomid
Moved from Pteromalids. This must be Eurytomidae I think.

Eurytomid
I'm thinking this is actually in the Eurytomidae based on the quadrate pronotum.

Moved
Moved from "Parasitica" (parasitic Apocrita).

Pteromalid…
This is about as large as pteromalids get.

See reference here.
