Campsomerini is a cosmopolitan tribe of the family Scoliidae. An older, alternative representation of this group is as a subfamily, Campsomerinae. [1] [2]
Campsomerinae was originally described by Betrem in 1972 [3] as a sister group to the Scoliinae comprising the scoliid wasps with two recurrent veins. This subfamily was further divided into the Campsomerini for species with two submarginal cells and Trielidini for species with three submarginal cells. Following the discovery of the genus Proscolia , the Campsomerinae and Scoliinae of Betrem were demoted to tribes, Campsomerini and Scoliini, under a newly-defined Scoliinae by Day et al. in 1981. In 1996, Argaman re-elevated the tribes to subfamily status, along with elevating Betrem's Trielidini to a separate subfamily as Colpinae. Argaman further subdivided his Campsomerinae into 8 tribes (Trisciloini, Tetrascitonini, Pseudotrielidini, Dobrobetini, Campsomerini, Colpacampsomerini, Megacampsomerini, and Dielidini) and his Colpinae into 5 tribes (Dasyscoliini, Curtaurgini, Heterelini, Colpini, and Trielidini) but did so without any phylogenetic analysis. Argaman's revisions to higher taxonomy, however, were not maintained in Osten's 2005 checklist, and Osten again treated the group as tribe Campsomerini. In a review of the scoliid wasps of North America, Kimsey et al. likewise maintained Campsomerini as a tribe but excluded the genus Colpa to maintain monophyly, with the suggestion that Colpa and its allies more likely either represent a separate tribe as Colpini or a subset of Scoliini.

Genera within this tribe include: [4] [5] [6] [7]
Colpa group
The Scoliidae, the scoliid wasps, are a family of wasps comprising about 560 species worldwide. They tend to be black, often marked with yellow or orange, and their wing tips are distinctively corrugated. Males are more slender and elongated than females, with significantly longer antennae, but the sexual dimorphism is not as apparent as in many of the Tiphiidae and Thynnidae.
The Tiphiidae are a family of large, solitary wasps whose larvae are parasitoids of various beetle larvae, especially those in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea. Until recently, this family contained several additional subfamilies, but multiple studies have independently confirmed that these comprise a separate lineage, and are now classified in the family Thynnidae.
Alexandr Pavlovich Rasnitsyn is a Russian entomologist, expert in palaeoentomology, and Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation (2001). His scientific interests are centered on the palaeontology, phylogeny, and taxonomy of hymenopteran insects and insects in general. He has also studied broader biological problems such as evolutionary theory, the principles of phylogenetics, taxonomy, nomenclature, and palaeoecology. He has published over 300 articles and books in several languages. In August 2008 he was awarded the Distinguished Research Medal of the International Society of Hymenopterists.
Megascolia procer, the giant scoliid wasp, is a solitary wasp in the family Scoliidae found across Asia. It is one of the largest wasps in the world, with a wingspan of 11.6 cm (4.6 in).
Scolia dubia, also known as the two-spotted scoliid wasp or a blue-winged scoliid wasp, is a species in the family Scoliidae.
Austroscolia soror is a species of scoliid wasp and a common insect found in eastern Australia. This is one of several Australian species collectively referred to as a blue flower wasp, black flower wasp, or blue hairy flower wasp.
Campsomeriella is a genus of the family Scoliidae, also known as the scoliid wasps. They are generally parasites of beetle larvae, most often of Scarabaeidae.
Scolia is a genus of scoliid wasps in the subfamily Scoliinae. There are over 200 described species in Scolia.
Campsomeris is a Neotropical genus of the family Scoliidae, also known as the scoliid wasps. They are generally parasites of beetle larvae, most often of Scarabaeidae.
Dielis trifasciata, also known as the three-banded scoliid wasp, is a species in the family Scoliidae.
The Thynnidae are a family of large, solitary wasps whose larvae are almost universally parasitoids of various beetle larvae, especially those in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea. Until recently, the constituents of this family were classified in the family Tiphiidae, but multiple studies have independently confirmed that thynnids are a separate lineage.
Scolia nobilitata, also known as the noble scoliid wasp, is a species of scoliid wasp in the family Scoliidae.
Dielis is a New World genus of the family Scoliidae, also known as the scoliid wasps, formerly treated as a subgenus within Campsomeris.

Scoliini is a cosmopolitan tribe of the family Scoliidae.
Austroscolia is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Scoliidae, subfamily Scoliinae. It was formerly classified as a subgenus of Scolia.
Pyrrhoscolia is a genus of scoliid wasps in the subfamily Scoliinae. It is native to the Afrotropics, where they have been recorded in various Afromontane regions. They are external parasitoids of beetle larvae. The wings of all three species are noted for their brilliant lustre.
Dielis plumipes, the feather-legged scoliid wasp, is a species of scoliid wasp in the family Scoliidae.
