Species

胡蜂總科(學名:Vespoidea) 是膜翅目細腰亞目下的一個總科,包含各種胡蜂。在舊分類法中與現已廢除的土蜂總科(Scolioidea)有衝突。而2008年的一項基因研究指出,現在的分類法仍有待改善。

thumb|Ancistrocerus antilope female. Family Vespidae Vespoidea is a superfamily of wasps in the order Hymenoptera. Vespoidea includes wasps with a large variety of lifestyles including eusocial, social, and solitary habits, predators, scavengers, parasitoids, and some herbivores.

== Description == Vespoid wasp females have antennae with 10 flagellomeres, while males have 11 flagellomeres. The edge of the pronotum reaches or passes the tegula. Many species display some level of sexual dimorphism. Most species have fully developed wings, but some have reduced or absent wings in one or both sexes. As in other Aculeata, only the females are ever capable of stinging.
