Hi Lorin, I'm trying to find the species. Do I see whitish hairs on the propodeum? A dorsal view and a detail of the hind claws could be helpful. I compare currently to a male Apechthis, Pimplinae.
#5
Here are additional shots of propodeum and hind claws. The hairs are at least lighter than the body

#6
up for Eric

Hi Lorin, Eric's still keen, but confused, too: if my guess of Apechthis is close, the legs should not be that uniformly red (was the wasp still teneral?). The claws would look good for quadridentata and there seem to be yellow stripes on the mesoscutum as well as yellow tips of scutellum and postscutellum - also good for the male quadridentata.
