Moved
Perhaps Exochus. If you saved the specimen, it can be keyed out.

Moved from Braconids and Ichneumons.

additional photos
I didn't save the specimen although I do have more photos of this wasp. I'll post them. They can just be frassed if not useful.

Not Useful
They don't enable one to see the characters needed for generic placement. Examination under a microscope is needed for that.
