It can only be Neria nigricornis: http://micropezid...my/term/26
There are only two species with an all-black frons (the other one N. longiceps has an elongated head)
N. nigricornis also has a shining thorax which picks it out from other Neria.
A good find.
Interesting to see the ovipositor shape, sort of tubular and shining black but without the sharp kink typical of N.cibaria
I would be grateful for the detailed Lat/Long for this. Better still, upload it to iNaturalist (see https://www.inatu...tanypezids)
