Hello,

females of Eutolmus rufibarbis have a completely different ovipositor und dark / black legs. The depicted specimen has very light coloured front and mid femora. It's also quite difficult to see, whether the ovipositor is compressed in horizontal or in vertical way. Do you have images of this specimen in other views (front, more lateral etc?).

Greetings, Danny Wolff
