Eremochares is a genus of wasp in the family Crabronidae.
The genus Eremochares contains 6 extant species: [1]
Wasps of the genus Sphex are cosmopolitan predators that sting and paralyze prey insects. Sphex is one of many genera in the old digger wasp family Sphecidae, though most apart from the Sphecinae have now been moved to the family Crabronidae. There are over 130 known Sphex species.
Sceliphron, also known as black mud daubers or black mud-dauber wasps, is a genus of Hymenoptera of the Sphecidae family of wasps. They are solitary mud daubers and build nests made of mud. Nests are frequently constructed in shaded niches, often just inside of windows or vent openings, and it may take a female only a day to construct a cell requiring dozens of trips carrying mud. Females will add new cells one by one to the nest after each cell is provisioned. They provision these nests with spiders, such as crab spiders, orb-weaver spiders and jumping spiders in particular, as food for the developing larvae. Each mud cell contains one egg and is provided with several prey items. Females of some species lay a modest average of 15 eggs over their whole lifespan. Various parasites attack these nests, including several species of cuckoo wasps, primarily by sneaking into the nest while the resident mud dauber is out foraging.
Larra, also known as mole cricket wasps or mole cricket hunters, is a genus of wasps that prey on various species of mole crickets. They have gained prominence as integrated pest management agents.
Trichiosoma is a genus of cimbicid sawflies in the family Cimbicidae. There are more than 30 described species in Trichiosoma.
Ammophila is the type genus of the subfamily Ammophilinae of the hunting wasp family Sphecidae. Ammophila is a large and cosmopolitan genus, with over 200 species, mostly occurring in the warmer regions of all continents apart from Antarctica.
Episyron is a genus of wasps in the family Pompilidae which prey on spiders. Nine species are found in Europe.
Arge is a genus of sawflies belonging to the family Argidae subfamily Arginae.
Crabro is a genus of square-headed wasps belonging to the family Crabronidae. There are at least 80 described species in Crabro, found in the Nearctic and Palaearctic (Holarctic).
Spilomena is a genus of aphid wasps in the family Crabronidae. The 86 species are found worldwide being represented in the Palearctic, Nearctic, Afrotropical, Neotropical, Australasian, and Indomalayan realms.
Psen is a genus of aphid wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are at least 90 described species in Psen.
Stizoides is a genus of kleptoparasitic sand wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are at least 30 described species in Stizoides.
Ammoplanus is a genus of aphid wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are more than 50 described species in Ammoplanus.
Didineis is a genus of wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are more than 20 described species in Didineis.
Plenoculus is a genus of square-headed wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are more than 20 described species in Plenoculus.
Ammoplanops is a genus of aphid wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are about 15 species described in the genus Ammoplanops.
Lestiphorus is a genus of sand wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are about 18 described species in Lestiphorus.
Dolichurus is a genus of cockroach wasps in the family Ampulicidae; they are generally found on dead wood, leaf litter, or on tree trunks. There are at least 50 described species in Dolichurus.
Ammoplanidae is a family of aphid wasps formerly treated as the Crabronidae subtribe Ammoplanina. There are about 10 genera and at least 130 described species in Ammoplanina. Phylogenetic analyses in 2018 and 2021 have confirmed this group as the sister lineage to the bees, and thus accorded the group family rank.
Phylloecus is a genus of sawflies belonging to the family Cephidae.
Belomicrus is a genus of insects belonging to the family Crabronidae.
