This wasp is about 15mm and was wavering near the ground as if looking for a good place to digg. It looks like a Larra anathema to me but I may be quite wrong.

Thanks,

"When white tergal bands are marked and large, then only kirbii is possible. When bands are weaker, than lividocinctus is also possible."

Prionyx cf. kirbii . It could be P. lividocinctus.. Christian will confirm...

Thank you Jorge. I think this one belongs to the same species though the bands in the abdomen are a little different

I may confirm both, a female of P. kirbii above and a female of Sphex sp. above. Most probable it is Sphex funerarius, but may also be S. flavipennis.
