Moved tentatively
Moved from Calliscelio. I did a little bit of research, and this specimen matches very well with Ashmead's description of C. rubiclavus, including pale body and head, tip of abdominal horn black, and tip of abdomen blackish. Type locality was Jacksonville, Florida.

Calliscelio (female)…
Fits the features of this genus including the frons, an anterior dorsal horn on T1 in females, and 6-segmented antennal clava. I'm not seeing the dorsal spine-like projections on the propodeum that are characteristics of Probaryconus, nor the vertical metascutellar plate present in Calotelea. Thanks for all these images Brad.

Question...
This may be in the genus Calliscelio, but a few of the genera look very similar. Can you provide a view of the front of the head?

Sure
I'll give it a shot.

Yes…
This does fit the description for the subfamily Scelioninae.
