***Pegoscapus*** est genus insectorum familiae Agaonidarum, in America endemicum. Singuli a Florida et Mexico in septentrionibus ad Argentinam in parte australi extendunt. Agaonidis est mutualismus obligatus cum speciebus ficorum quas pollinant. *Pegoscapus* species in sectione *Americana* subgeneris *Urostigmatis* pollinat. 

Genus vixisse aestimatur abhinc annorum circa 28 milliones secundum sequentias nucleotidorum oxidasium cytochromaticarum?, et annorum plus quam 20 milliones secundum fossile in sucino e re publica Dominiciana observatum.
