Platygastrid…
Fits the description for this family including size, elbowed antennae attached low on the face, an abdomen with sharp "keeled" margins, black coloration, and sculptured thorax.

See reference here.

 
Thanks!
I wasn't sure...I thought that it was a Eurytomidae, but it didn't have the rectangular prothorax. This helped me a lot!!! now I can rearrange them it the unit tray.
