The article focuses on the taxonomy of the different genetic diversity of the population of Campsomeris in the islands of Bahamas. Three identical Bahamian scoliid wasps were depicted as two forms of species, Campsomeris bahamensis and Campsomeris trifasciata. The Campsomeris trifasciata was subdivided into two species, Campsomeris trifasciata trifasciata and Campsomeris trifasciata. nassauensis. Desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) were extracted from the specimen of both genders and magnified with the use of a random primer analysis. The DNA results showed that the genetic profiles between these three group species were overlapped and its genetic variation was alike with the single taxon found in different islands.
