'''''Colpa''''' is a genus of scoliid wasp.<ref name=Osten2005/>
== Taxonomy and phylogeny == Despite historical treatment under the tribe Campsomerini, phylogenetic analysis revealed the genus to instead be sister to the tribe Scoliini. As a result, it was excluded from Campsomerini. Two possibilities were presented, pending results on the placement of ''Guigliana'' and ''Dasyscolia'': either to treat a third tribe, Colpini, or to transfer the genera to Scoliini.<ref name=Khouri2022/> Mitochontrial phylogenetic analysis corroborated that ''Colpa'' and ''Guigliana'' represented a third tribe, which they named Trielidini instead of Colpini to comply with ICZN guidelines.<ref name=Liu2024/>
