Thank you Dr Gideon Pisanty for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~9mm long. When we asked Gideon what differentiated these from other Braconid's he said "The colour pattern is very characteristic. Also the wing venation, head shape and body shape". | |||||
