I see no reason for treating .scaeva as other than a nortliern 

 black form of pennsylvanica, which occurs in the extreme south, 

 and like so many southern Hymenoptera, has its black colors 

 largely replaced by red. Balteola is unquestionably the female, 

 and in that sex there is no noticeable difference between the 

 northern and southern forms.
