Error!
Dear colleagues, I am sincerely sorry for my mistake! Certainly, this is not Codrus. I gave the features on the pictures and those features belong to Exallonyx: frons without rounded swelling, 1 and 2 pairs tarsi are widened, hinder spur does not reach the middle part of basitarsus, claspers are more thickened at the basis. Besides, Codrus currently does not occur in Nearctic. I made the mistake because I am used to working with palearctic proctotrupids and because of my being not quite focused!

a few more items that cry for your attention

....and many thanks for your help with these amazing, elegant wasps

 
Thank you
for taking the time to check this, and for illustrating the characters

I would like to
make use of your identification, but I can't find information about the genus Codrus. It seems that species formerly placed in Codrus are now in Brachyserphus, Exallonyx, and Proctotrupes, according to Nomina Nearctica and a few other sources I found. Do you think Codrus should be a valid genus or should I move this into one of the other genera?
