Small wasp, between 2-3 mm, photographed last Saturday in Charca Suárez de Motril. What can we know about it? Maherjos attached the following image:  [153.21Kb] Edited by Maherjos on 26-11-2018 20:15 |

Might be a Gelis sp (Ichneumonidae). Some of the females are wingless. |

Hi Maherjos & tristram, For a Ichneumonoidea there are too few antennal segments. This apterous wasp is a Chalcidoidea. Family Pteromalidae subfamily Diparinae. Dipara petiolata is a species I've seen before and looks quite similar. I don't know if other Diparinae and/or Dipara look similar. Greetings, Ectemnius |

Ectemnius, I searched the web for what is identified as Dipara petiolata, and in fact I found some very similar images. https://www.biodi...66580.html If for your part there is no problem, I will use that identification to identify my search to attract the attention of other specialists who also want to give us their opinion. I also inform you that I have the insect collected, and I can send it to the specialist who wants to study it in more detail. Best regards from southern Spain José Marín |
