Yes - Eurytomid…
Possibly similar to this previous submission here. Will ask Dr. Grissell if he would like to comment on whether this may also be another example of Rileya.

See reference here.

Cool.
I have 2 wasps right here if anyone wants them. Not to mention that it would be great to put an ID on them for BG.
