@simonc & @MichaelMulvaney I’ve recently learned of another candidate called Australelis anthracina which also has the two yellow spots on the abdomen.
Laeviscolia frontalis has yellow on the vertex in females & yellow on the pronotum in males & this specimen appears to have neither, so I’m thinking it’s likely to be Australelis anthracina which I can’t find as an option to use as a Suggestion😊
