Scolia is a genus of scoliid wasps in the subfamily Scoliinae. There are over 200 described species in Scolia.[1]

Taxonomy and phylogeny

Scolia was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775. This genus is classified under the tribe Scoliini of the subfamily Scoliinae within the family Scoliidae.[2] Scolia is itself divided into three subgenera, Scolia (Scolia), and Scolia (Discolia), and Scolia (Hesperoscolia).[3] Males of the subgenus Scolia (Scolia) have dense, silky setae on the volsella, while those of the subgenus Scolia (Discolia) lack dense setae on the volsella.[2]

Description and identification

Scolia are small to medium wasps between 5–25 millimetres (0.20–0.98 in).[2] The forewing has a single recurrent vein and two submarginal cells.[4] The species are usually black with variable yellow or red markings. The majority of setae are usually black or white but may also be mixed with red or yellow.[2]

Distribution

Scolia is a cosmopolitan genus. 40 species are known from India alone.[2] Another 50 species are known from the Palearctic.[1] 20 more species are known from the Americas.[5]
