| HYMENOPTERA, Vespoidea (has included Formicoidea, Pompiloidea, Scolioidea, Tiphioidea)        Please refer also to the following link for
  further details:              Vespoidea = Link 1             When Clausen (1940) discussed the superfamily
  Vespoidea, it contained families that have since been placed into other
  superfamilies.  Thus his comment that
  the Vespoidea is composed of a group of families of exceedingly varied habits
  and forms considers the presence of the additional families.  By 1993 only three families, Eumenidae,
  Methocidae and Vespidae were included. 
  However, by 2010 eleven families are included in the superfamily.   Families
