The Ammoplanines are small, predatory Crabronid wasps in the Sub-family Pemphredoninae. I have been working on them for over 30 years now, and am in the process of publishing three papers that review three genera, Ammoplanus (published in the next Pan Pac issue), Parammoplanus now under review for Pan Pac, and Timberlakena in manuscript. Deep Canyon is rich in Ammoplanine fauna, with several unique species being found there. New collecting techniques (water pantrapping) have discovered new species that are not readily collected by net and I would like to try this technique in Deep Canyon. I have only used nets there in past collecting trips to Deep Canyon. I discoverd a new species of Ammoplanus in Berdoo Canyon last year, and would also like to see if it occurs in Deep Canyon.
