Dielis is a New World genus of the family Scoliidae, also known as the scoliid wasps, formerly treated as a subgenus within Campsomeris.[1]
Dielis are medium sized wasps that exhibit strong sexual dimorphism. The females are black with broad yellow or orange bands on the abdomen, often on the first 3 or 4 tergites. The males have yellow bands on the first 4 or 5 tergites. The setae are usually white, though in some species there is a yellowish to brownish tint.[2] The forewing of Dielis species includes two recurrent wing veins and two submarginal cells as typical of the genera of Campsomerini, apart from Colpa.[3]
Distribution
Species of this genus occur from Canada south to Chile and Argentina.[2]
