Moved
Moved from ID Request. I can see enough diagnostic characters of this female (fully winged, wing venation, 13 antennal segments) to be sure this is Epyrinae. Further, from the apparent shape of the clypeus and that I think I see circular pits at the base of the scutellum rather than a grove (admittedly hard to discern), I'm fairly sure this is Epyris.

There are about 24 spp in NA, and about 14 of those are known to occur in Florida.
