from Paul Marsh: "probably a male Doryctes sp."
Moved from Doryctinae.

Moved tentatively per the following Dr Shaw's comment:
"My educated guess is Braconidae, subfamily Doryctinae. There are lots of genera and this is a male. Send to the expert, Paul Marsh."

Moved from Braconid Wasps.

Braconidae.
Family is the best I can do, despite your amazing images.

 
Thanks Eric!
