Possibly a well-known species, but I am not sure.

No idea on this? Tachininae or Exoristinae?

Very anonymous :( Possibly Phryxe? I'd really need to see a specimen but maybe Theo can use his magic? :D

NO idea.


It looks Eryciini / Goniini, however the distinct appendix to bend in vein M, suggesting Exoristini...... ??

Can this not be a rather aberrant female Huebneria affinis? Aberrant, because on one wing it has the appendix on vein M (though absent on the other). Also the orange on the scutellum is smaller than usual. But the scutellar bristle is 45 degree erect. I compared to the females of last year and this is not so dissimilar.

You could be right. The wing venation is indeed strongly asymmetrical, missed that. The appendix might be aberrant.
