Why not Eulophidae?

Thanks to both of you. Eucharitidae are ant parasits and this page (http://www.faculty.ucr.edu/~heraty/Eucharitidae.html) gives another kind of antennas. On the other hand, Eulophidae are parasits of microlepidoptera and this page (http://www.faunistik.net/PONLINE/HYMENOPTERA/CHALCIDOIDEA/EULOPHIDAE/eulophidae.html) specifically says that the male often have reinder-like antennas. Paul, thanks for moving the thread to the Other insects forum. Pierre Duhem |
