Persimmon tree?
Suspecting Baeoalitriozus diospyri based on glossy black color, pubescent dorsum, and long wings with unique venation (especially the large marginal cell). These are both females.

not really... both the wings and the head are very unwaspy...
cool bugs, Betsy -- Chris Mallory is plowing thru BG psyllid section like there's no tomorrow, hope he figures out this one soon, but please try to provide host data

Moved from Ants, Bees, Wasps and Sawflies.
