Superfamily SPHECOIDEA 



Based primarily on a study of larvae, H. E. Evans (Ent. News 75: 225- 

 237, 1964) proposed recognizing only the single family Sphecidae in this 

 superfamily. He suggested regrouping the sphecoid wasps into the following 

 eight subfamilies: 



Ampulicinae (= Ampulicidae of Catalog) 



Sphecinae (= Sphecinae of Catalog) 



Larrinae ( = Larrinae, Trypoxyloninae and Crabroninae of Catalog) 



Mellininae (= Mellinini of Catalog) 



Pemphredoninae ( = Pemphredoninae of Catalog) 



Astatinae (= Astatinae of Catalog) 



Philanthinae (= Philanthinae of Catalog) 



Nyssoninae (= Nyssoninae of Catalog less Mellinini)
