Small wasp, between 2-3 mm, photographed last Saturday in Charca Suárez de Motril.
What can we know about it?

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

tristam, Ectemnius. Very grateful to both for your help.

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
