TL;DR: The first Mesozoic and currently oldest fossil of the wasp family Pompilidae is described and figured from a female preserved in mid-Cretaceous amber from Myanmar (Burma) and Bryopompilus interfector is distinguished from other fossil and living spider wasps.
Abstract: The first Mesozoic and currently oldest fossil of the wasp family Pompilidae (Aculeata: Euaculeata: Vespoidea) is described and figured from a female preserved in mid-Cretaceous (Albian) amber from Myanmar (Burma). Bryopompilus interfector, new genus and species, is distinguished from other fossil and living spider wasps and placed in the new tribe Bryopompilini. The sparse geological record of spider wasps is briefly reviewed and the current classification of the family outlined, with the spelling of three family-group names corrected—Cordyloscelidini, Eidopompilini, and Deuterageniini.

Abstract: The paper presents information about species from the group iScolioideai (Hymenoptera: Vespoidea) known from the western part of Kampinos National Park in Cen- tral Poland. Seven species are recorded for the first time from the Park. Among them Scolia sexmaculata (M‹LLER, 1766) is new to Mazovian Lowland. The specimens were collected with the use of Moericke traps during the years 2000n2004. Currently 11 species from the eScolioideai are known from Kampinos National Park.
