Annotated catalogue of the Pompilidae (Hymenoptera) of Australia

Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, NSW, 2010.
Hymenoptera Catalogue Pompilidae Australia spider wasps

Abstract

This work represents the first catalogue of the Australian pompilid fauna since the Australian catalogue of Hymenoptera by Froggatt (1892) and the world catalogue of Pompilidae by Dalla Torre (1897). The catalogue follows the subfamily arrangement suggested by Pitts et al. (2006) and lists four subfamilies, 45 genera and 256 species. Three species and two genera which have exclusively extralimital distributions are included only because of their occurrence in the Australian literature.

At the generic level the catalogue lists the original description of the valid generic name and any synonyms, plus literature that refers to Australian material or literature that may be of interest to Australian workers. At the specific and subspecific level the catalogue lists the original description plus any subsequent literature dealing with that taxon. Two new combinations are recorded, though both require further confirmation. One species remains unplaced to subfamily.
