Chalcidae, yes.
It is just "Chalcidae," but yes, that is correct. The tiny size, relative to other wasps, and the huge hind femora ("thighs") tell you immediately that that is what you have there.

Not "Chalcididae?"
I always thought the family name is Chalcididae, as Tom posted. See here.

Apparently
Hah, I always thought Chalcidae, but I guess that's wrong. I've fixed the name.

Thanks for the help Eric. This was a neat looking little bug.

Neat looking indeed. This is also a new family, so I've made a guide page (blank for now) for it.
