Evagetes is a genus of spider wasps from the family Pompilidae.

[1] Evagetes wasps are kleptoparasitic on other pompilid wasps, especially the genera Arachnospila, Anoplius, Episyron and Pompilus,[2] digging into their sealed burrows, eating the host egg and replacing it with an egg of its own.

[3] Evagetes wasps are characterised by their very short antennae.

Most are species are black with the base of the antennae rufous, several Evagetes species are very metallic bluish insects.

[4] The type species was named by Lepeletier as Evagetes bicolor in 1845 but this has since been recognised as a synonym for E.
