(From Wikipedia) The Crabronidae are a large paraphyletic group (nominally a family) of wasps, including nearly all of the species formerly comprising the now-defunct superfamily Sphecoidea.

FACT: Due to its size and diversity, many crabronid subfamilies are considered their own separate family anyway!

Currently discovered: 2/8 Subfamilies
