The first record of this subfamily on CNM

I think this keys to Cremnops, although the photo does not show the fore tarsi clearly, however Cremnops seems to be tropical genus.

Seems close to Disophrys as identified in ALA and iNat Australia

Yes I looked at those IDs and at the key https://www.researchgate.net/publication/230725672_Synopsis_Of_Australian_Agathidine_Wasps_Hymenoptera_Braconidae_Agathidinae none of the IDs are research quality and the key says Disophrys has an ovipositor less than half the length of the metasoma, while image two shows this wasp has an ovipositor about the same length as the metasoma
