Thanks!
Any idea what this species parasitizes? I've seen reference to Army Worm, anything else? This is a Holarctic species? Sorry, I really couldn't find much ecological/biogeographic information.

 
Hosts
Here two hosts are reported: Pseudaletia unipuncta and Coleophora pruniella. I very much doubt the accuracy of the latter host record; for one thing, I doubt that the pupa of that microlep species is large enough for this ichneumonid to develop on.

 
Thanks again.
Thank you for the link and the information.

Ichneumonid. There are some similar specimens in Ichneumoninae...



...but that's striclty a guess on my part. Dr. Carlson will be able to say for sure.
