Short list
Of Leptogastrinae in CA, unlike some groups. Likely a true Leptogaster and certainly not one of our species.

Thank you Herschel
Am I safe to assume it's a Mexican species? If so, are there any good references for Leptogastrinae from there?

I meant not
one of my eastern species. Very little overlap with CA. Eric Fisher may know it.
