. There is debate regarding the status of the genus named ''Ampulicomorpha'' by Ashmead in 1893, generally considered now to be a junior synonym of ''Embolemus'' (e.g.,van Achterberg, Cornelis & Kats, R.. (2000). Revision of the Palaearctic Embolemidae (Hymenoptera). Zoöl. Med. 74 (2000), 17: 251-269.), as a few authorities dispute this (e.g.,). The genus has cosmopolitan distribution.
