Synonyms and other taxonomic changes
Tribes were formerly treated as separate subfamilies (Scoliinae and Campsomerinae). Since Osten (2005), the tribes Scoliini and Campsomerini are grouped under a differently defined Scoliinae.
(1)Identification
Scoliini are separated from Campsomerini by the single vein at the posterior margin of the submarginal cell (double vein in Campsomerini) (
see diagram).
(2)
The Scoliini in our area are divided into two genera. Members of Scolia have two submarginal cells, whereas members of Triscolia have three submarginal cells.
