Dielis Chilensis
''Dielis'' is a New World genus of the family Scoliidae, also known as the scoliid wasps, formerly treated as a subgenus within ''Campsomeris''. Description and identification ''Dielis'' are medium sized wasps that exhibit strong sexual dimorphism.

New World
The term "New World" is used to describe the majority of lands of Earth's Western Hemisphere, particularly the Americas, and sometimes Oceania."America." ''The Oxford Companion to the English Language'' (). McArthur, Tom, ed., 1992. New York: Oxford University Press, p. 33: "[16c: from the feminine of ''Americus'', the Latinized first name of the explorer Amerigo Vespucci (1454–1512). The name ''America'' first appeared on a map in 1507 by the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller, referring to the area now called Brazil]. Since the 16th century, the term "New World" has been used to describe the Western Hemisphere, often referred to as the Americas. Since the 18th century, it has come to represent the United States, which was initially colonial British America until it established independence following the American Revolutionary War.

Dielis Tolteca
''Dielis tolteca'', the Toltec scoliid wasp, is a species of hymenopteran in the family Scoliidae. It is commonly found on plants in the genus ''Solidago''. Description and identification Female ''D. tolteca'' have extensive orange on at least three tergites of the gaster. The first segment is variable from a complete band to no band at all, and every possible degree in between. The only other orange-marked ally, '' D. dorsata'', has the orange restricted to the second and third tergites of the gaster. Male ''D. tolteca'' have four pale yellow bands on both the tergites and sternites of the gaster and a yellow band on the pronotum. As with the females, the most similar species is ''D. dorsata'', which has sparser setae on the external valve of the penis and lacks banding on the sternites. The males further share the paler markings with '' D. plumipes'', a species that is sympatric in Texas and which has the clypeus and pronotum entirely black. Another ally, '' D. pilipes'', has ...

Dielis Tejensis
''Dielis tejensis'' is a species of scoliid wasp. It is endemic to Texas. Etymology The specific epithet comes from the latinized form of "Tejas", the Spanish name for Texas. Description and identification The species is only known from male specimens and was described in 2023 based on genetic differences to other ''Dielis'' species. It is chromatically distinguished from the males of all other North American species of the tribe Campsomerini (except for '' D. pillipies)'' by having five stripes along its abdomen rather than four. Biology As with most species of scoliid wasps, it is thought to parasitize soil-inhabiting Scarabaeoidea Scarabaeoidea is a superfamily of beetles, the only subgroup of the infraorder Scarabaeiformia. Around 35,000 species are placed in this superfamily and some 200 new species are described each year. Some of its constituent families are undergo ... beetle grubs.

Scoliidae
The Scoliidae, the scoliid wasps, are a family of wasps comprising about 560 species worldwide. They tend to be black, often marked with yellow or orange, and their wing tips are distinctively corrugated. Males are more slender and elongated than females, with significantly longer antennae, but the sexual dimorphism is not as apparent as in many of the Tiphiidae and Thynnidae. Biology Scoliid wasps are solitary parasitoids of scarab beetle larvae. Female scoliids burrow into the ground in search of these larvae and then use their sting to paralyze them. They sometimes excavate a chamber and move the paralyzed beetle larva into it before depositing an egg. Scoliid wasps act as important biocontrol agents, as many of the beetles they parasitize are pests, including the Japanese beetle. Male scoliids patrol territories, ready to mate with females emerging from the ground. Adult wasps may be minor pollinators of some plants and can be found on many wildflowers in the late summer.
