The systematic position of Clistopyga within the Pimplinae has been unsettled. Meager 

 evidence seems to indicate that Clistopyga spp. are parasitic upon egg sacs of species of spiders 

 which place their egg sacs in crevices. Townes (1960) seems to have given special emphasis to 

 this fact in removing Clistopyga from the Polysphinctini and placing it, along with Tromatobia 

 and Zaglyptus, marginally within the Pimplini.

 that Cushman's type-specimens were definitely reared from the egg sac of a spider, 

 although the specimens are labled as "on spider nest."

Tribe POLYSPHINCTINI 



Members of this tribe are parasitic upon spiders. The larvae feed externally and solitarily, ex- 

 tracting the "juices" of an individual spider which remains active until the polysphinctine larva 

 matures.
