I am not sure whether this is a Diptera or a Hymenoptera. Very small, around 1.5 mm. The antennae look a little bit suspicious for a Brachycera.

This is clearly no Diptera. It is a parasitic Chalcodoidea wasp. And this is a very difficult group with many undescribed species... Martin Martin Hauser |

It has the feel of Encyrtidae, but my guess is as good as anyone else's.

Thx. Yes, Hymenoptera is very difficult. Especially the parasitic wasps. |

Well, with the build of this species, it is clear that it is Chalcidoidea. The family then becomes tricky, but the shape of the antennae (especially the last flagellar segments) resembles that of other Encyrtidae I have seen.
