Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Ichneumonidae? Braconidae? with very long ovipositor

I have seen tropical braconids like this (with incredibly long ovipositors) and in general I usually guess if an ichneumonoid has very darkened wings it is most likely to be a braconid. But like cthirion said, we need to see wing venation to be sure.
