Alloxysta pedestris

Likely but uncertain - a parasitoid wasp of the Figitidae family (subfamily Charipinae) found in the garden, it is definitely an Alloxysta sp. but determination to species is very difficult and carries a wealth of uncertainty. It was keyed using Ferre-Suay and is probably Alloxysta pedestris. Additional pictures below can be viewed larger with a click - 14 antennal segments, metasoma with 2 large visible tergites, notauli present, shallow and partial, 0.9mm long, mesoscutum without imbricate surface, antennae subequal to body length, scutellar fovea not visible, reduced wing length.
