Ceropales is a genus of kleptoparasitic spider wasps from the sub-family Ceropalinae of the family Pompilidae. They are characterised by the taking of the spider prey of other solitary wasps, mainly Pompiliddae but members of the Sphecidae are also kleptoparasitised.[1] In some languages their name translates into English as Cuckoo Spider Wasp.
