 Ocytata pallipes

Unmistakable: the apical crossvein is missing.

One of the very few parasitoids of Dermaptera (Oorwomen)

It's the first picture in our Dutch insectlist (www.waarneming.nl), so that's special!

 I'm not so sure about the sex.

Sure, it has 2 pairs of proclinate orbital setae, but Ocytata is one of the exceptions where both sexes have these bristles.
The abdominal tip looks feminine, but the male genitalia are pretty small in Ocytata.

 Tiny pulvilli and wide frons too ... but I must admit to not being very familiar with Ocytata ... I didn't catch one for a few years Smile
