An older, alternative representation of this group is as a subfamily, Campsomerinae.

[1][2] Campsomerinae was originally described by Betrem in 1972[3] as a sister group to the Scoliinae comprising the scoliid wasps with two recurrent veins.

Argaman further subdivided his Campsomerinae into 8 tribes (Trisciloini, Tetrascitonini, Pseudotrielidini, Dobrobetini, Campsomerini, Colpacampsomerini, Megacampsomerini, and Dielidini) and his Colpinae into 5 tribes (Dasyscoliini, Curtaurgini, Heterelini, Colpini, and Trielidini) but did so without any phylogenetic analysis.

In a review of the scoliid wasps of North America, Kimsey et al. likewise maintained Campsomerini as a tribe but excluded the genus Colpa to maintain monophyly, with the suggestion that Colpa and its allies more likely either represent a separate tribe as Colpini or a subset of Scoliini.

[2] Genera within this tribe include:[4][5][6][7] Colpa group This Apocrita-related article is a stub.
