It belongs to the subfamily Haltichellinae, a group characterized by reduced wing venation and often metallic coloration. The species is known from the Canadian prairies, with records from Alberta and Saskatchewan. As with other chalcidids, it is presumed to be a parasitoid, though specific host associations remain undocumented.
