Pompiloidea is a superfamily that includes spider wasps and velvet ants, among others, in the order Hymenoptera. There are 4 families in Pompiloidea.[1][2][3]
Families
[edit]These four families belong to the superfamily Pompiloidea:[3]
- Mutillidae (velvet ants)
- Myrmosidae (myrmosid wasps)
- Pompilidae (spider wasps)
- Sapygidae (sapygid wasps)
The extinct family Burmusculidae, known from Cretaceous amber, is also placed here.[4]
