microgastrine braconid - Diolcogaster - female

microgastrine braconid - Diolcogaster - Female
Rockville, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA
June 28, 2020
Size: body 4mm
This one keys out to Microgastrinae using the Sharkey subfamily key (1) and then to Diolcogaster using Whitfield's key to this subfamily (1).
Given there are thought to be many undescribed species in this genus, I don't think this one has any further ID potential, but I'd appreciate confirmation/correction of the genus ID.

TIA
