Aulacidae
ok for Pristaulacus fasciatus (Say). There is another similar and very rare species with the forewings entirely black.

Pristaulacus…
Perhaps P. fasciatus. Nice find.

See reference here.

 
Thanks!
Thanks! That explains why I couldn't find it under braconids and ichneumons.

 
Pristaulacus fasciatus…
Checked further. I believe that this is the only Pristaulacus species that has the yellow hyaline wing band beneath the stigma.

See reference here.
