Not sure why you posted
these to Rhyssinae. They are too small for Megarhyssa, at least. We think they are more likely Acaenitinae ยป Arotes, but you'll have to wait to hear from Eric or one of the other experts to know for sure.

I would tend to agree with Arotes as the genus. May not be the same species as the others depicted in the guide, or may be a faded individual (though the images themselves appear washed-out).

Great contributions, Chris!
We've certainly been learning from all your posts. We especially like the forest pest issues. We're still hoping to learn even more about sawflies from you in the future! Thanks
