Eurytomidae (Chalcidoidea) - male
A typical member of this group. Sometimes treated as a mere subfamily of Pteromalidae. Square-shaped pronotum and thikened costal vein of forewing are the hallmarks of these insects.

 
How do you sex them?
Is it by the length of the petiole (male longer?) and the shape of the gaster (male have a smaller one?).
