I "nailed" it almost right...
Because presence of a distinct pterostigma indicates a Megaspilidae, not a true Ceraphrontidae. Nonetheless, both families are closely related and form together the superfamily Ceraphrontoidea.

Thanks Richard
Looks like I still need a home for this series ... couldn't find either family by search bar or taxon listing, and there's no 'superfamily Ceraphrontoidea' in the Guide.
