Undescribed specimens are known from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber of Myanmar,[ 2] Eosphecium sp. have been reported from the Driftwood shales , Tranquille Formation , and Klondike Mountain Formation . Additional angarosphecid specimens are reported from the Tranquille and Republic sites plus the Allenby Formation that are not 'Eosphecium.[ 3]
Burmasphex Decasphex et al (2020), originally assigned to this family, were subsequently moved to the separate apoid family Burmasphecidae .[ 1]
