evergreen bagworm parasitoids

[Jim Mason]

We are opening female evergreen bagworm (Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis) bags and finding that the inhabitant has been gobbled up by the larvae of dinky little parasitoid wasps (~3.5mm long, with a sharply tapered abdomen).  Is anyone on the list familiar with what species, or even what family, this wasp might be?  Thanks.
