Hello
I've have identified this hymenopter as Pimpla sp. perheaps Pimpla rufipes (= hypocondriaca, = instigator) : length 14 mm, antenna 12 mm, terebra 4 mm, all black and legs red
Photo taken in NE of France, in september 2006
Is it really ?
Thank you
Louis

Looks like Pimpla to me too though I have a bad track record in Pimplinae recently. I'll try to compare with reliably specimens later today Robert

Does someone has a scan of Nartshuk E.P. 2003. Key to families of Diptera (Insecta) of the fauna of Russian and adjacent countries. Proceedings of the Zoological Institute Vol. 294: 1-252 for me?
