Moved from Atrophini.

This looks too petiolate an abdomen for Atrophini, and I can't verify wing venation. Given the prevalence of misidentified ichneumonids, I'm thinking this will be safer moved upward as the present ID seems unsubstantiated. While the general color pattern is similar to certain Lissonata, color pattern cannot override morphology (especially as similar color patterns can pop up in several subfamilies, such as Cryptinae, Ichneumoninae, and even Campopleginae). I'd recommend reaching out to Andrei Humala (ichman on iNaturalist) or maybe Brandon Claridge (I'm not sure if this will be one he's familiar with).
