Hello all, This diptera was collected in the Sierra Nevada near Mammoth Lakes, CA. It has a similar body shape to a Diptera, but the longer antenna and lack of wing veins are making me question if it is a wasp. Help identifying to the Family level would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kyle, it looks more like a wasp: perhaps one of the Cynipoidea (Figitidae, Cynipidae...) Hope this helps a bit, Eric |

Chalcidoidea, perhaps Encyrtidae, if not Aphelinidae.
