About 5.5 mm long. Collected July 30, 2016 on plant infested with oleander aphids. Adult reared from similar puparium (collected at same time and place) was ID'd as O. fuscipennis by Bill Dean on Bugguide (http://bugguide.n...ew/1267407), but unfortunately I didn't photograph the immature stages of that individual.
Ocyptamus fuscipennis? Ocyptamus sp.?
