If you send it over I can give you a name for it - the RES pimpline key is pretty easy to use

LOL, the key to British Pimplinae is very good - I have used it many times here and Mark Shaw has recently released updates to it... so I have reasonable confidence for UK material

That's a nice ID - can you bring it to the workshop anyway Chris? I'd like to run it through the British key and just make sure I get it out to that species - I don't think I have seen P.rufipes yet

I'd like to run it through the British key In the British key, you'll find it under Pimpla hypochondriaca (now synonym of rufipes) I don't think I have seen P.rufipes yet You should it is one of the most common... good night Pierre-Nicolas |

Ahh, P.hypochondriaca sounds much more familiar I probably just need to apply Marsh Shaw's updates to my copy and add-in some margin notes Thanks for the clarification.
