Probably yes as i found them amoung parasitoids of the almond bark beetle. I guess in the litterature it is condsidered as predator of bark beetle. Can i found some key to Palearctic /North african species?

See https://www.zobod...onchaeidae. I can not say how closely these old publications correspond to modern taxonomy.

With such splendid green coloration (as it is apparent from the second picture) it should be Lamprolonchaea smaragdi.
