User's notes

a new suggestion for the wonderful moderators here (really appreciate your time and efforts), just trying to help, have added a species name of Tapeigaster nigricornis thanks to tony_d on iNat for the following explanation: Wide pale medial thoracic stripe divided anteriorly (presutural section), wide frontal pale orbital stripes continue over vertex to the neck (forming a V), and fore and hind femora much thicker than mid femora. Will leave the decision in the capable hands of those on CNM. Thanks again.
