Eucoilinae…
The triangular marginal cell, the mesoscutellum showing a raised, rounded plate, 13-segmented moniliform antennae, and a compressed abdomen suggest this group.

See reference here.

 
Filiform v. moniliform
To me the antennal segments look more filiform than moniliform--in that they appear longer than wide. Also, I count 14 - 15 of them. Of course, I might be misunderstanding the definition of "moniliform" and I be mis-counting the number of antennal segments.

Could this insect still be a Eucoiline if it has 14 - 15-segmented filiform antennae?
