Genus DIPOGON Fox 



Our species are most commonly found in wooded areas. The North American species for which 

 the nesting habits are known all use pre-existing cavities in wood as a nesting site. The nest con- 

 sists of a linear series of cells usually separated by complex partitions of debris such as bits of 

 wood or leaf, dead insects, caterpillar frass with an outer layer of compacted soil. Errant spiders 

 are used as prey.
