Moved from Conura.

According to the guide page request, the specimen was identified with the assistance of an entomologist associated with the UF/USDA Entomology collection.

I would think the large size, location, and coloring should help bring it past the genus level. Dorsal shot coming soon.

Conura…
Matches the characteristics for this group.

There are no other images on bugguide of a conura with this coloration.

Genus Conura
Its a male and would have been placed in the old genus Metadontia I suspect (based on the large teeth on the femur). There's only one species listed in this subgroup and it is yellow and black. The infuscated wings are interesting too!

Chalcids
The only chalcids I find are conuras. I did find a Leucopsis afffinis floridana once, but otherwise only conuras... maybe I am not looking in all the correct places.

The genus
Conura is a bit of a mess, and not well worked out. Conura (Metadontia) amoena has very large teeth on the hind femur, and was listed as the only species in the genus for North America. I don't know of anyone working on Conura at the moment.

As Conura go...
this is a real stand out!

Thanks
I've been cataloging wasps in Florida for about a year now, and I knew it was a good find, most of the conura sp. I find are yellow, orange, black, or any combination thereof.
