Coloration is very similar to that of the specimen I identified as Agrypon rheumapterae, but I can't see the characters needed for even confirming the genus, so I obviously can't confirm the species. Anomaloninae are difficult to identify from specimens, and all the tougher to identify from photos.

Moved from Ichneumon Wasps.
