Description

Tachypompilus Ashmead, 1902

Type species Tachypompilus abbotti Ashmead, 1902 (Tachypompilus analis (Fabricius, 1781)), by original designation.

Remarks. This is a widespread, but species-poor genus (Wasbauer & Kimsey 1985), with 14 species in the Neotropical region (Fernández 2000). Although the genus was previously recorded to Haiti (Evans 1966), Genaro (1995) first recorded Tachypompilus for the Dominican Republic.
