Moved
Moved from Gorytina.

Possibly Hoplisoides
but I am not certain.

Moved
Moved from Yellowjackets and Hornets, Paper Wasps; Potter, Mason and Pollen Wasps.

Thanks Richard. I was pretty sure it was a Crabronid, but was torn between Gorytina and Cercerini. :)

Oops! No Vespid Wasp
A member of the Gorytini tribe, family Crabronidae (i.e., an Apoid Wasp). Many Crabronids, especially those belonging to subfamily Bembecinae, are easily mistaken for solitary Vespids.
