General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
~29mm long. We thought it might be a Sphex gracilis, but we also thought it was worn, so the hair is quite thin on the pronotum on the specimen we found compared to the 2015 paper.

This species is

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