Yes.
Female, hard to say much more. I even have trouble with actual pinned specimens! The keys to these are problematic, in part because there is a surprising degree of individual variation in ocular measurements and other anatomical details that are pretty reliable in other groups of wasps. Great images, though. Spectacular, in fact.

It is a good idea to add this information when you have it. I did it for you this time.
