Can any one suggest a family for this small wasp?
Malaise trap, Townsville, Queensland.

Chalcidoidea??

Thanks Sara. Probably Braconidae according to some other advice.
Cheers, Graeme

I'd concur with the 'other advice'. Wing venation seems to agree with Microgastrinae.

Thanks Paul. It's great to have a subfamily.
