Found on a meadow in Wienerwald (Vienna) in May.
Genus or species ID possible?

To me it looks like Aphrostema femala. Check the wing venation - it is not clearly visible in the pictures.

Thanks Jan, your suggestion seem good. See this photo:
I did some search, but I almost found nothing about that genus, also not how many species could be found in my area

Hm, wing venation (pterostigmal cell) does not seem to support Aphrostema...
Hopefully, hymenopterists would provide the determination.

Hi,
looks like a female
Arge rustica
to me (see confirmed specimen below), but I am no expert.
