Spider-hunting wasps of the neotropics

Abstract (en):

Las avispas cazadoras de arañas constituyen una familia, Pompilidae, bien definida dentro de los himenópteros con aguijón por su morfología y comportamiento. Aunque los  pompílidos conformaban anteriormente su propia superfamilia (Pompiloidea) ahora se les ubica en Vespoidea (Brothers & Carpenter 1993). En general, los pompílidos hembras se caracterizan a simple vista por su aspecto robusto, patas largas y espinosas y por su costumbre de vuelos cortos y a ras, así como caminatas sobre el suelo, con movimientos nerviosos de antenas y alas. Predominantemente son de colores oscuros azulosos, aunque algunos géneros tienen colores llamativos.
