I don't figure even the family for this one!
It measured about 7 mm body lenght. Sadly, it was collected by a friend that did not registered the locality data. But it's from northeast Spain at medium altitude.
Any idea? Thanks!

Million thanks Tony! I remotedly suspected it could be Braconidae but the shape of the abdomen was too striking for me!

The abdominal form is characteristic for this genus - the name
Chelonus is from the Greek for a tortoise or turtle, and refers to the hard, thickened shell of the abdomen.
