Thanks for the info. It certainly looks convincing, especially as the environment I found them in is exactly what your link describes, and i have seen many Aelia acuminata (their favorite host) over there.
I was wondering whether this could be the male, then.? I had casually identified it as G. rotundata.

Yeah - male
Cistogaster globosa :) In general
Cistogaster are smaller than any of the 'normal'
Gymnosoma species (like
rotundatum,
clavatum etc) and the antennae are much, much shorter in
Cistogaster than in
Gymnosoma.
