Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
To this subfamily belong the giants of the family, although many species in it are of moderate or insignificant size. Here belong the “Tarantula Killers,” or Pompilids, belonging to the genus Pepsis, large, brilliantly coloured species, often with fiery red wings, or blue or black wings marked with white or red, etc., that prey upon the genuine Tarantulas and other large species of spiders.
