Moved from Macrocentrus.

Macrocentrus sp. -- Paul Marsh det.
Moved from Braconid Wasps.

from Dr. Scott R. Shaw:
"A tougher one. The wing indicates that it is Braconidae. From the habitus, my best guess would be subfamily Macrocentrinae, genus Macrocentrus, but the details needed for definitive placement to either subfamily or genus are not visible... Ken Ahlstrom in North Carolina revised the genus most recently..."
