Thanks!
I was curious about the species. I had several in the past IDed to genus level. I wondered what IDed this one as Enicospilus purgatus. I guess I was curious if the others were a different species, or if they just didn't show the proper detail? I might even have some other shots for those if there was something I could add. Anyway, thanks again for the ID.

Scleromes
It is the arrangement of the scleromes in the forewing and the little crescent that underscores the hind one.
