1284 Hymenoptera in America North of Mexico 



The few authenticated host records indicate that species of this subgenus have various species 

 of Pompilidae as hosts. The spider wasp hosts have diverse nesting habits. Some nest in borings 

 in wood (Dipogoyi), some construct mud cells beneath stones {Phanagenia), and some nest in the 

 ground (? Anoplius fratemus (Bks.)).
