 Hi Jogvan, with the Schmiedeknecht key I ended up with a female Ichneumon castaneus, which is now Aoplus castaneus.
see: https://www.gbif....1415589493
Greetings, Eric

 Thanks Eric
I've only just started identifying these insects. It is hard enough just to find the correct genus.
If this is Aoplus I also end up wiht A. castaneus using Perkins, 1960. Unfortunately I do not yet have a list of hymenoptera found here.
So most likely this is Aoplus castaneus

thanks
Jógvan F

It is sad news. I read him a month ago, as he replied to me about a wrong identification. He was brilliant, as always.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.
