I sent the link to this remarkable set of images to Dr. Gavin Broad in London, and he shared them with Dr. Mark Shaw. Both of them hope that this larva can be reared. Host records for Anomaloninae are few, and it would be very worthwhile knowing the genus and species of this anomalonine.

I didn't keep the caterpillar and it was on a rather remote private property that I won't visit again for several months. My record for rearing is rather dismal and I didn't even think to try for a parasitoid. I apologize for my lack of insight.

Hopefully, you will have a future encounter with this host and parasitoid, but the observations you have made thus far are very interesting and indicate a need for a closer examination of how this parasitoid is apparently able to oviposit without being thwarted by the defensive behavior of the target host.
