Dielis plumipes, the feather-legged scoliid wasp, is a species of scoliid wasp in the family Scoliidae. [1]
Females of D. plumipes have a black scutellum and yellow bands on the first three or four tergites. [2] The setae along the pronotal collar are usually orangish. [1] Males, as in most species of the genus, have yellow bands on the first four tergites and primarily whitish setae on the body. [3] They have the pronotum entirely black, or nearly so, and are distinguished chromatically from allied species by the entirely black clypeus and by the entirely black mid and hind legs. [2]
D. plumipes occurs in the eastern and central United States. [4] The largest populations are the central subspecies, D. p. confluenta, and the southeastern subspecies, D. p. fossulana. A third subspecies, the nominate D. p. plumipes, occurs in a small pocket along the eastern coast within the Carolinian life zone. [2]
There are three subspecies of D. plumipes: [5]
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.
