There can't be too many chalcids which parasitise eggs, mymarids (which that is not) being the usual suspects.
A note on the use of the term "chalcid" might be of interest. Usually, the use of an abreviation ending in "id" e.g. "carabid" nomally refers to a family, in this case Carabidae.
"Chalcid" is a bit of an exception, in that it normally refers to the Superfamiliy Chacidoidea, within which are many families, including Chalcididae and Mymaridae:
