Could somebody help me identifying these wasp please? It is from central Chile.
The picture i I have attached is of carbonidae wasp I think the picture provided is little different .
In my opinion the two photos posted by Milan Nepali Josheph concern Vespidae, not Crabronidae. The first one seems to illustrate a specimen of the genus Vespa. Regards.

I agree with you Rinaldo, those pictures from Milan seem to be Vespidae specimens. I am thinking the pictures that I uploaded are from the Pison genus, they are very similiar to what I found on Google.

This is a female wasp from the genus Pison [Crabronidae, Trypoxylini]. Unfortunately, the proposed angles do not allow to determine it to the species.
It is necessary to see its head from the front, as well as the propodeum from above.
Thank you very much Dr. Antropov. I can take some detailed photos of the head from the front and the propodeum from above and send them to you (or upload them here, as you prefer) if you could please help me in the determination of the species
It seems to me that the specimen is Pison chlense Spinola, 1851. The only known species of the genus in Chile and a very common species.
