Eupelmidae, yes

Sorry for having overlooked these nice pics until now. Peculiar outline of Mesoscutum, a hallmark for this small family, is especially well visible on middle and right images.

thanks Richard

for confirming the family on this one. These little wasps are hard for me id to family. I have more of them on the way...

Nice find!

I hope that some day a specialist visits these pages; it is very likely that this can be IDed to species, since you know the host.

thanks Beatriz

These chalcids are not as easy as I wish, even with the host...
