Euparagia
Euparagia is the sole extant genus of the subfamily Euparagiinae within family Vespidae. The group represents a geographically relict taxon with a formerly cosmopolitan distribution in past geological times, now restricted to desert regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. The genus contains ten described species, most named by Bohart between 1938 and 1988. Biological knowledge is extremely limited; only Euparagia scutellaris has been studied, with females known to provision soil nests with weevil larvae.
