Hymenoptera. It is a parasitic wasp.
I'd say Chalcidoidea (superfamily). Encyrtidae?

Hello,

Could it be Gyranusoidea aphycoides?

My thanks HDumas for their appreciated collaboration and assistance.
Unfortunately, the web I have not found a single photograph to compare with Gyranusoidea aphycoides. I've only found a few, but very poor quality Gyranusoidea indicates, similar but not quite. I keep looking and edit the title to attract the attention of experts.

Have you seen any pictures of Gyranusoidea aphycoides?

Best Regards

Your pics are really nice so I used Ponent keys:
http://ponent.ats...rtidae.htm
They led me to
http://ponent.ats...ea_ana.htm
The description of the genus fits well with you pics, so Gyranusoidea aphycoides seems to be a good hypothesis to me.
But I'm not a specialist at all, so wait for experts.

According to Antoni Ribes it is Anagyrini for sure, most probably Gyranusoidea, with the long postmarginal vein and the appearance of thorax sculpture. But perhaps there is need to see under magnification the thorax to be sure if the sculpture type fits with the genus.
About the species G.aphycoides, it is simillar with the colour description from Mercet (1921),
at least in the upper surface, but it seems to be some differences in legs colour, and mostly
in antenna colour. G.aphycoides has "base and apical third of scape whitish; apex of pedicellus whitish", and in photo there is only a subapical whitish patch in scape.


Many thanks to him.

This year again I was photographing this little insect.
And again I consulted a specialist in Chalcidoidea, Encyrtidae, Antoni Ribes Escolà.
And with the new information that I could provide, if the expert has been able to establish a more precise identification. This is what the expert tells me: Species not mentioned even in Spain, although you know some specimens collected in citrus groves, unpublished.
Pseudococcidae numerous parasitoid mainly longispinus Pseudococcus, P.calceolariae, Planococcus citri also, Phenacoccus gossypii, Ferrisia virgata, etc., On citrus and other tropical areas of coffee, avocado, etc..
It is of Australian origin, and introduced for biological control of pests in Hawaii, California, Africa, and recently in Italy and Israel. "
I'm also the photos that I have done this year.

Best regards.

Great! Thanks for this correction.
This species indeed is reared and used for biological control, see here in Holland for example.
