Ageniella is a genus of mud-nesting spider wasps in the family Pompilidae. [1]
Spider wasps in the genus Ageniella are smaller and thinner than many others, though these proportions are shared by the members of the tribe Ageniellini. Some individual species are reddish/pink, such as Ageniella conflicta . Similarly, most have banding on the wings. The wings can be smoky or clear, with the smoky ones having the banding and the clear ones lacking in this feature. [2]
Ageniella species are found in the Neotropical and Nearctic realms. [1]
Open areas, fields, meadows, sometimes near buildings. [2]
Trumpet (or thimble) shaped, stocked with one spider each, and containing one egg. [2]
