Wasp with abdomen laterally compressed. Googling "wasp laterally compressed" gave me Platygastroidea. Correct and can we go further?

Hi Magnus, it's superfamily Chalcidoidea, Eurytomidae, almost sure Eurytoma sp. female.
Best regards, Marc

Thank you! I guess it is difficult to identify to species level.

Magnus, as far as you have the specimen pinned, it should not be a big issue to determine to species level. Eurytoma is not that complicated.
But I can't do it on pic, maybe you have to send it to a specialist, if you need the species name.
