Crabronidae is a large family of wasps, that includes nearly all of the species formerly comprising the now-defunct superfamily Sphecoidea. Arthropods are Animals belonging to the Phylum Arthropoda (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, " Joint " Insects ( Class Insecta) are a major group of Arthropods and the most diverse group of Animals on the Earth with over a million described Hymenoptera is one of the larger orders of Insects comprising the sawflies, Wasps Bees and Ants The name refers to Pierre André Latreille ( November 20, 1762 - February 6, 1833) was a French entomologist. Year 1802 ( MDCCCII) was a Common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar or a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Astatine wasps are a cosmopolitan group of solitary Wasps The largest genus in this subfamily is Astata, peculiar for their males having very large The Bembicinae is a large subfamily of crabronid wasps that includes over 80 genera and over 1800 species The subfamilly Crabroninae is the most diverse group in the Wasp family Crabronidae, containing over 100 Genera. Mellininae is a very small subfamily of Wasps comprising only 17 described species in two genera The subfamilly Philanthinae is one of the largest groups in the Wasp family Crabronidae, even though it contains only 9 genera A wasp is any Insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita that is neither a Bee nor Ant. It collectively includes well over 200 genera, containing well over 9000 species. Crabronids were originally a part of Sphecidae, but the latter name is now restricted to a separate family based on what was once the subfamily Sphecinae. Sphecidae ( Latreille, 1802) is a cosmopolitan family of Wasps that include Digger wasps Mud daubers and other familiar types that all As this change is very recent, it seems likely that the subfamilies of Crabronidae will each eventually be treated as families in their own right, as they have been treated as such by many authorities in the past (as in the catalog linked below).
