Bonsoir Trana.
Voici l'avis d'un chercheur Finnois qui publie sur le genre Gelis que j'ai contacté ce midi; il vient de me répondre => Gelis spurius.
Dear Jean-Michel,
Congratulations on choosing to spend your time wisely!
The genus Gelis is indeed difficult, not only because of the amount of species, but also because there tends to be large variation in appearance within species while, on the other hand, often very subtle differences between species.
Fortunately, I have seen many specimens of this particular species and so I am able to give you a name for the female in your image: Gelis spurius (Förster, 1783).
It is a parasitoid of insect pupae; host records include taxa from Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, Psychidae, Lauxaniidae and Tephritidae (according to Schwarz 1998 – the third part of the Gelis/Thaumatogelis revision).
Males are micropter or fully winged.
Meilleures salutations,
Ika
