Moved from Braconid Wasps.

Mandible
I think I see an exodont mandible, which would mean Alysiinae. Dr. Sharkey thinks that may be the case but cannot see the mandible clearly enough to be sure.

Definition
Per this web site: "Mandible in which the teeth are curved outward and the mandibles do not overlap when closed."
