Scolia (Discolia) vollenhoveni
urban garden
Another possibility is Austroscolia ruficeps. These two aren't readily separated apart from wing venation. From what few specimens I've seen, it's possible that red scapes may suggest A. ruficeps while black scapes may suggest S. vollenhoveni, but I have not seen that trait suggested in keys due to the taxonomic emphasis on wing venation.
