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. In some languages their name translates into English as Cuckoo Spider Wasp.
