"In essence, a "Pteromalid" is any member of the Chalcidoidea that has 5-segmented tarsi and does not have the defining features of any of the remaining families with 5-segmented tarsi. " An artificial family easy to define except by differentiation*.This doesn't look like anything else so Pteromalidae it is. *See differential in Glossary ;)(opposite diagnostic)
