Hi Dima,

According to Jeroen de Rond (who is specialized in Dryinidae and Bethylidae) this is a female of Goniozus. To be more specific:

Many thanks Jan Willem (hope to make more decent shots soon, I believe they are quite numerous there) - I'll follow your advice Paul Wink.

Lovely photo. Bethylidae were one of my favourite groups when I dabbled in Hymenoptera but I only found 2 and gave up from lack of specimens!! Wink

in truth... this website is the best for wasps I've ever seen. The photos amaze us in such way that we almost scream in silence.
