For me it is not an Ichneumonidae. It looks more like a Proctotrupidae (see the wing venation). Pierre-Nicolas Pierre-Nicolas |

Hi Pierre and Robert! Thank you for your interesting opinion! My knowledge is very poor about the Proctotrupidae. I guess that it is not easy to tell apart them from each other. eguzki |

You are right but here is an expert opinion from David Notton at the Natural History Museum, London "Assuming this is a Hungarian specimen or at least Palaearctic, it's most likely a species belonging to the genus Proctotrupes, on account of the metasoma being reddish basally. The species can be identified in Townes & Townes world revision, should your friend  still have the specimen. From the terminalia, it looks like a male. These are fairly common parasities of beetle larvae." Robert
