Platygastridae, probably Inostemma

I do not think that it is Platygastridae, the abdomen should be flattened more!

With this abdomen in bubble which finishes at a peak, I lean rather towards Proctotrupidae!
However one would say that it ya a horn on the thorax like , difficult to slice !

Inostemma
