Not an ichneumonid but a chalcidoid. Maybe Pteromalidae...?

May be a better guess is Torymidae, but I hope there is someone who is better conversed with this group.

Lovely photo! Smile

Well, I have done a (little) bit of work with chalcids and it certainly looks like a Torymus sp. Grin but they're a horrendously difficult genus to key out... I have the key and probably tried it twice before giving up! Angry

Many of the torymids are parasitoids of galls - eg. T.nitens/auratus, which attacks the "Marble Gall" (Andricus kollari) found on Oaks.

Certainly Torymidae and Chris is most probably right .Contact John Noyes at the Natural History Museum, London. http://www.nhm.ac.uk//research-curation/staff-directory/entomology/cv-3601.html for an expert confirmation He will want permission to use your superb photograph if he can arrive at an id. Who wouldn't? Specimen next time I hope. Another possibility is Csaba Thuroczy in Korstag Hungary:- Thur?czy Csaba [thuroczy.cs@freemail.hu]

Just an update- initial view of John Noyes is that it is a Monodontomerus sp. Just looked at some pics of Monodontomerus dentipes and it does look very similar.
May get further ID info shortly

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
