Moved
Probably Cremastinae, but I can't be sure it isn't Tersilochinae or even Campopleginae.

Moved from Ants, Bees, Wasps and Sawflies.

Thanks very much Bob -
should I be focusing on different anatomical structures with these wasps - are better photos of the legs or wing veins needed, for example?

Structures
In general, lateral views can be particularly helpful (the more fully lateral, the better), but the venation can also be important, of course.
