Those images are definitely some nice additions to that underrepresented family. Please do add them to the guide page!

Good question...
Alas, it's one I am totally unqualified to answer. Sorry. Maybe one of the hymenopteran experts will be able to assist?

stem saw fly question
Is there a stem sawfly with only 8 flagellar segments? I captured one recently, and keyed it out as a Cephid using Goulet and Huber. It looks a lot like Calameuta clavata, but it clearly has only 8 segments past the scape and pedicel.
