It is definitely an encyrtid
The most common encyrtid genus that attacks chrysopids is Isodromus ... but this isn't an Isodromus. It could easily be an Ooencyrtus species, and acording to the literature at least 1 Ooencytrus species (kuvanae) has been recorded as a chrysopid parasitoid (which is weird, because most Ooencyrtus species attack Lepidoptera or Hemiptera eggs).

Chalcid wasp…
Possibly an encyrtid, but would need a dorsal view of one of these wasps since there are quite a few families that parasitize lacewing eggs. Looks like most of these have already been parasitized.

See reference here.
