Bethylid - Sierolomorpha canadensis

Found on somewhat muddy ground at night. I thought it was a staphy in the light of my headlamp…

Bethylid - Sierolomorpha canadensis Bethylid - Sierolomorpha canadensis

Sierolomorpha canadensis (Provancher), female
Moved from Flat Wasps. ID'd from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks Aaron.

Took me a bit to figure out - the wing venation was funny for Bethylidae and I had forgotten this doppelganger existed.

Possibly a state record - Evans (1961) reported it from MA & CT, but not RI.

 
Also in this batch
from July 2016: a specimen of Meromyzobia (Encyrtidae).
