Does anybody know anything about this parasitic wasp with dark wings? From a coastal sandy area in S Sweden today. Thankful for any help. Regards Krister ebbek attached the following image:  [172.65Kb] Edited by ebbek on 29-07-2014 20:12 |

Looks like a braconid but you'd be much better off posting to a specialist forum like HymIS or the Facebook group "Hymenopterists Forum".

While asking elsewhere: yes, it's a Braconidae, a female Braconinae.

Thanks for help! When I look in an older swedish key to genera I come to Ipobracon. Could it be correct - and does anybody know a key to this group? Greetings Krister |

I only know this paper (not in open access): Quicke, D.L.J., 1987. The Old World genera of braconine wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae).— J. Nat. Hist. 21:43-157 It seems that Ipobracon is a subgenus of Cyanopterus (see http://www.ichneumonoidea.name/local.php?taxonidLC=90214952). Your female looks more like Glyptomorpha then like Cyanopterus to me (i.e. first tergite longer and different wing venation), but I'm not at all a specialist. Greetings from Provence |

Thanks a lot for very good information! It helped me to the correct species I hope - which is Vipio appellator. In the swedish key I have the difference between Vipio and Glyptomorpha is that Vipio has a hair brush on each side of clypeus and it also has a polished field on tergit 2. And those characters fits very well to this wasp. Thanks again HDumas - with greetings from the swedish westcoast! Krister Edited by ebbek on 29-07-2014 20:14 |
