Hemipepsis Opulenta
''Hemipepsis'' is a genus of large pepsine spider wasps found throughout the tropics. They are commonly known as tarantula hawks. ''Hemipepsis'' wasps are morphologically similar to the related genera '' Pepsis'' and ''Entypus'', but distinguishable by the pattern of wing venation. In South Africa 18 plant species from three plant families, the Apocynaceae, Orchidaceae, and Asparagaceae subfamily Scilloideae are pollinated exclusively by ''Hemipepsis'' wasps. Species About 180 species are placed in ''Hemipepsis'', including: *''Hemipepsis acer'' ( Bingham, 1897) India *''Hemipepsis aenea'' (Cameron, 1904) Sikkim *''Hemipepsis aeruginosa'' ( Smith, 1855) Sumatra, Assam *''Hemipepsis aethiops'' (Kohl, 1913) Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe Zambia, Ethiopia *''Hemipepsis amamiensis'' ( Tsuneki, 1990) Japan *'' Hemipepsis analis'' ( Haupt, 1933) New Guinea *''Hemipepsis anthracina'' (Smith, 1855) Indonesia *''Hemipepsis approximata'' (Haupt, 1941) Borneo *' ...
