The Pepsinae are a subfamily of the spider wasp family, Pompilidae, including the two genera of large tarantula hawks, as well as many genera of smaller species.[1]
Biology
[edit]A female spider wasp generally captures and stings a spider to paralise it; this is for their larvae to feed on. However, the wasps of this subfamily display a range of nesting behaviours:
- using preexisting cavities;
- using the immobilised spider’s burrow;
- digging a burrow in soil;
- building nests of mud;
- parasitoids; and
- kleptoparasites.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]Pepsinae can be defined by:
- sternite 2 with a distinct transverse groove;
- mesofemur and metafemur without subapical spine-like setae set in grooves or pits;
- the metatibia with apical spine-like setae of uniform length, the setae not splayed; and
- vein Cu1 of fore wing is simple at its base, without any definite downward deflection, i.e. the second discal cell (2D) is without a ‘pocket’.[2][3]
The subfamily Pepsinae comprises 84 genera.[4] These include 16 genera of Ageniellini,[5][6] 7 genera of Deuterageniini,[7] 48 genera of Pepsini,[8][9][10] 11 genera of Priocnemini,[11][12] 1 genus of Psoropempulini,[13] and 1 genus unplaced to tribe.[14]
