Need help with the ID here. Found at a forest edge in Vienna, Austria, mid May.

Hi Lorin, yes, Cephidae and maybe Cephus pygmeus.

Thanks Eric.
Is there also a Strepsiptera under the tergite?

Could be even two - but I've never heard of Strepsiptera attacking Cephidae.

I am regretting it not to have taken the specimen with me, as it was already dead anyways. Didn't recognize it in the field :|
