Very nice pictures, Jonny
This is a female of the genus Epyris (Bethylidae: Epyrinae).
If somebody can send any specimens of American bethylids, I will try to identify them.

Yes…
Seems to fit the description including the flattened dark appearance, antennal insertion points, number of gaster segments, and correct wing venation. Nice set.

See reference here.
