I'm afraid it was a live specimen
This is the only picture I got. I will try to get better pics next time.

possibly Aleiodes
Darn too bad. With a couple other strategically positioned pictures, I think I could have nailed this down to species. I'm 90% certain that it's genus Aleiodes but not certain enough to say for sure without more picture data.

would it be possible
If this is a dead specimen, would it be possible to get a frontal shot of the face? I'd especially like to see the area just above the mandibles.

Moved
Not enough of the wing venation evident for reliable placement to subfamily.

Moved from Braconids and Ichneumons.
