Parasitic wasp on white pansy

I upload this photo because of the tiny parasitic wasp. I asked some experts to help me with the ID and they say it is Pteromalidae, presumably subfamily Miscogastrinae, based on the large stigmal vein.
That's all for the time being. In Pteromalidae there are 3 450 described species, I don't know how many they are in Miscogastrinae.

    Sure. There are already a couple of photos in this species. I left it purposely unidentified - I just wanted to put accent on the wasp. Posted 11 years ago
