The genus was first described by Dr. Theodore Cockerell in a 1906 paper published in the Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology. The genus name is a combination of the Greek, meaning "old" and vespa from the genus Vespa, the type genus of the family Vespidae where Palaeovespa is placed. Along with the genus description, the paper contained the description of the type species P. florissantia, P. scudderi and P. gillettei all from the Florrisant Formation. Cockerell described a fourth species, P. baltica in 1909 from a specimen in Baltic amber. Five years later, in 1914, Cockerell described another species P. wilsoni from Florissant. In 1923, P. relecta was named by...
