Exenterus amictorius (?) - Exenterus amictorius
Nasonworth, York County, New Brunswick, Canada
May 15, 2018
Fairly sure this came out of a Diprion similis cocoon, but it's taken me this long to ID it and I'm no longer sure.

Yes…
I believe you have this ID'd correctly. The very broad apical yellow bands on tergites 1 and 2 help distinguish this species from the others in the genus. The species has also been recorded in New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec.

See reference here.

 
Awesome
Thanks for the confirmation Ross, I appreciate it.
I unfortunately didn't seem to keep the specimen for my collection, or more likely it shattered in my lummox-like hands during pinning way back when I first took the pictures.
Too bad.
