Type species

Lepeletier, 1845

Evagetes is a genus of spider wasps from the family Pompilidae. There are 72 described species, of which 58 are found in the Palaearctic region, 11 in the Nearctic region, with a few penetrating to the Afrotropical, Oriental and Neotropic regions.[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 which was originally named Aporus dubius.[5]
