Hi, is it possible to determine the wasp more precisely on the basis of the images and the information about the host and to assign it to a subfamily? On June 20th I found a caterpillar from the family Gelechiidae. The genus was determined in the Lepiforum as Helcystogramma, most probably H. lutatella or rufescens. The caterpillar has retreated into a rolled up leaf and pupated. https://arthropodafotos.de/dbsp.php?lang=deu&sc=1&ta=t_45_lep_0_gel&sci=Helcystogramma&scisp=sp. On July 9th the 6 mm long wasp shown here hatched from the pupa. Greetings Marion (Saxony, Germany) Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [136.52Kb] |

Hi Marion, what is the length of your wasp? I think it could be a male of Pimplininae?

Hi Eric, thank you for answer. The length of the wasp from the head to the tip of the abdomen was 6 mm. It hatched from a 7 mm long pupa. Do you mean Pimplinae? Greetings Marion |

Sorry - yes, I meant Pimplinae, but I'm not sure, yet!

Thank you very much. It seems to be very complicated, because there are also a lot of small subfamilies. I found a key to the subfamilies of North and Central American Ichneumonidae http://www.amentinst.org/Subfamily_Key.php Greetings Marion |
