I asked Kees van Achterberg if he agreed with me about the specimen being a member of the subfamily Alysiinae. Well he did agree with me and wrote the following:
It's a species of the genus Asobara s.l. (so including Aphaereta). It's a male. Difficult to identify!
So: Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea: Braconidae: Alysiinae:
Asobara (s.l.) spec.
Aphaereta used to be treated as a separate genus but is currently regarded as a subgenus of the genus
Asobara.
For as far as I know
Asobara species are known as important parasitoids of Drosophilidae (I didn't get this information from Kees).
