Thanks!
Almost all submissions in this subfamily are stuck at subfamily, so I'm guessing this is as good an ID as I'll get on this one. Still, a new subfamily for me, so I'm happy about that!

 
The majority of specimens...
of Opiinae in general collections key to Opius. In order to ID your specimen to a more specific taxon, I'd have to see the specimen.

 
Would you want some?
I could collect Braconids for you if you'd like. So far I've been releasing all the wasps I photograph but would collect them if I knew I could get voucher IDs.

 
Thank for your offer.
Perhaps you might send me a few specimens occasionally.

If possible, please point-mount them on pins, label them, and send them in foam-bottom insect mailing boxes that in turn are in larger boxes, well-cushioned with styrofoam peanuts or other padding for delicate things sent through the mail. I'll send you mailing details by Email.
