Wasp mimic capsid bug

Rayieria basifer

Description:

At first I thought this was a tiny wasp as it was zipping around the twigs and leaves very quickly like it was searching for prey. Later I noticed the simple antennae and thought it might be a Hemipteran of some kind. It looks almost exactly like a white flanked braconid wasp - Pycnobraconoides sp. - http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...

Habitat:

On broad acacia leaves in a local nature reserve. Kings.
