Thank you Milo van Loon & Kerri-Lee Harris for confirming and Dr Ben Parslow for helping with the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
~7mm long.
When we asked Kerri-Lee why she thought this was a female she said "Just 10 segments in the flagellum (cf 11 in males); and just 6 visible segments in the abdomen (cf 7 in males).
That rule works for most (but not all) crabronids."

This species is

Australian Native Species, not listed in the SA Murray Mallee Survey of 2010.
