Caenochrysis
I can not agree with Kimsey this time. I think it is
Caenochrysis
because it has raised metanotum, tridentate apex of abdomen (not well visible though) and it looks like
Caenochrysis
to me. The last argument is difficult to explain but there is something in the shape of head and thorax, sculpture etc. that in my experience is typical for
Caenochrysis
.

Not Holopyga.
This looks to be something in the genus Chrysis (note teeth on hind edge of the abdomen, a character Holopyga does not have).

Not sure how to correct
I really hate asking for ID"s on every image I post, but I hate it even more if I post an image in the wrong guide. I do not know how to remove this from where I incorrectly placed it and put it where it belongs.

Easy:
Click the "tag" link (or "tag all" if you're looking at one that's linked to others and you want to move them all). Your image (and any others included if you clicked "tag all") will show up as a thumbnail in the upper left-hand corner of the page. Next, go to the page where you want to move it, then click on the "Images" tab. There should be a link that says "move tagged images". Click on it, and, voilà! your images are moved.
As for "over-use" of ID Request: unless I feel comfortable enough in the ID to be able to explain it to an entomologist or arachnologist, I always post to ID Request. That way, I may mildly annoy one of the few experts who doesn't prefer to have things posted there, but the alternative is the possibility of misleading site-visitors until an expert happens to spot a mistake.

The image has been moved to
"Cuckoo wasps (Chrysididae)"
. I hope, lol. Thanks to those who have attempted to explain how to do this.
