Hi,
I asked Kees van Achterberg (certainly a specialist in Braconidae) if he could say anything more about the species. He wrote:
The small one is a Spathius (probably S. rubidus (Rossi)); the other one a Helcon. So both are indeed Braconidae.
Spathius belongs to the subfamily Doryctinae and
Helcon to the subfamily Helconinae.
On the internet I found that
Spathius rubidus has been reported as a parasite
Anobium beetles (Anobiidae).
