Genus of wasps From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ceropales is a genus of kleptoparasitic spider wasps from the sub-family Ceropalinae of the family Pompilidae. They are characterised by the taking of the spider prey of other solitary wasps, mainly Pompilidae but members of the Sphecidae that provision with spider prey are sometimes also hosts.[2] In some languages their name translates into English as "cuckoo spider wasp".
