Dear Mr.Vytautas,

I'm not an expert on this matter so forgive me if I'm wrong. My guess is Ceraphronidae or Megaspilidae. Thanks!

Best,

Tharindu.

Maybe Lagynodes?

DearsTharindu and Alexey, thank you very much for answers. Yes, I supposed that these could belong to Ceraphronidae family, but I was not sure. May be you know some people who wish to get material of these small hymenopterans from Lithuania  for own studies?

According to the image, Lagynodes sp. (Megaspilidae), female.

Let me check and if someone came up I'll let you know mr.Vytautas.

Dear Vytautas

You can try to write also Mr. Jānis Dreimanis from Latvia, I think he can help You.

Dear colleagues, many thank for comments. May be it is Lagynodes pallidus?

Thank you David! Indeed identification of these insects is quite problematic, and I think it should be done by experts. Any way I would like to take chance to do that,  but firstly I must find your suggested paper.

Best wishes!

A good key for Eastern Europe!

Dear Dr. Kolyada, The two pictures were enlarged on my screen and I say this apterous hymenoptera belongs to the family Encyrtidae (Chalcidoidea). [email protected] Best wishes and regards. Sincerely yours.

Dear Dr. Kolyada, The two pictures were enlarged on screen. I can say this apterous hymenoptera is a species of Chalcidoidea Encyrtidae. Sincerely yours.

Dear Andre, Perhaps this an object has a certain resemblance to Encyrtidae, example with Quadrencyrtus paradoxus (see attach.) but no doubt this is  a Lagynodes

Hi Vytautas,

I agree with Victor Kolyada that it is Lagynodes (Ceraphronoidea: Megaspilidae: Lagynodinae, order Hymenoptera) 

See the attached link and photo.

But I can not confirm its Sp. by photos only. It needs an expert.

Regards,

Wafaa

Lagynodes sp.

Okey, I registered that it is one species of Lagynodes. My apologizes to all Entomologists who examined the small hymenopterous found in litter of this cold region of Eastern Europe. On enlarged view of the hymenoptera, I was seeing on lateral part of thorax, the encyrtid morphological characteristic. In the future I must to see with spectacles! At all of yours thank you. I collected in the litter of Mediterranean fields of Southeastern France another species of  Lagynodes! At all of yours particularly to Dr. Kolyada, sincerely yours.

Many thank for all of you for nice and valuable discussion!  Especially for Victor for the useful paper. I  tried to identify these specimens and following the proposed key it could be another species, or I did not understood the key completely. Actually I confused on thesis about hairs on junctions between head and thorax, and thorax and gaster. The hair presen on these parts of body of mine examined specimens, but these are long and thin. So what about next to species L. thorasicus and L. pallidus? Are these parts of body hairy or hairless? 

Thank you in advance

Sincerely Yours Vytautas

May be someone could recognize this specimen. Body length 0.8 mm. Probably it is some from Scelionidae? Idris?

Dear Dr. Tamutis, For me it is a Scelionidae, with big certitude. May be, as you write, an Idris species; but it is only one possibility. You could submit the specimen to Doctor Madame Kononova in Kyiv Institute (Ukrainia), famous specialist of the family Scelionidae, who edited a very modern revision that I use when I have to identify one Scelionidae of South-Eastern France (where I find many scelionids species). Sincerely yours. [email protected]

 Dear Dr. Panis, thank you very much :-)

Tragically, Dr. Kononova died in April 2016... RIP

In my opinion, at the beginning of this topic are placed photos of two different species Lagynodes

Dear Dr. Tamutis,

The insect in the photo you uploaded 2 days ago is definitely Idris sp., female (Platygastridae: Scelioninae; or, Scelionidae: Baeinae, in the other conception).

Thank for comments dear colleagues! 

I am sure that specimen of photographed Lagynodes belongs to L. thorasicus and L. pallidus. Seems they live in the same habitats. 

Thank for Your help

Best wishes

Vytautas
