Alastor is a Palearctic, Indomalayan and Afrotropical [1] genus of potter wasps, primarily found in tropical Africa. It is divided into the 4 subgenera Alastor, Alastorellus, Megalastor and Parastalor. [1]
Plagiolabra is a neotropical genus of potter wasps currently containing 2 species found in the Gran Chaco biogeographical province of central South America, in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.
Pachodynerus is a fairly large neotropical and nearctic genus of potter wasps with higher diversity in central South America. At least one species has been introduced in other biogeographical regions, including several oceanic islands, while Pachodynerus erynnis occurs on Ascension Island as well as in North America. This genus is most closely related to the genus Euodynerus.
Synagris is an Afrotropical genus of large potter wasps. Several Synagris wasps are strongly sexually dimorphic and males bear notable morphological secondary sexual traits including metasomal lamellar or angular protruding structures and hornlike or tusklike mandibular and/or clypeal projections.
Delta is an Old World genus of potter wasps with species predominantly distributed through tropical Africa and Asia. Some species are present in the Palearctic region, and a few have been introduced in the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. The members of this genus have a long metasomal petiole, like members of the genera Eumenes and Zeta.
Paramischocyttarus is a small afrotropical and palearctic Zethus-like genus of potter wasps.
Postepipona is an Afrotropical genus of potter wasps containing two species, one from Madagascar and the other from island of Socotra in Yemen.
Paraleptomenes is a primarily Indomalayan genus of potter wasps. There is a single species, Paraleptomenes miniatus, reported outside of the region, from the island of Mauritius in the Afrotropical region.
Pseudodynerus is a small Neotropical genus of potter wasps currently containing 16 species.
Pareumenes is an Afrotropical, Palearctic and Oriental genus of potter wasps.
Rhynchagris is an Afrotropical genus of large potter wasps, formerly treated as a subgenus within Synagris.
Raphiglossoides is a small genus of afrotropical potter wasps known from South Africa. Only two species are currently known.
Tricarinodynerus is a genus of potter wasps known from the Afrotropical and Palearctic regions.
Delta pyriforme is a species of potter wasp in the subfamily Eumeninae of the family Vespidae. They are distributed across Asia. Several populations are recognized:
Alastor (Alastor) aeger is a species of wasp in the family Vespidae.
Phimenes flavopictus is a species of potter wasp found in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.
Parischnogaster is a genus of hover wasps from the subfamily Stenogastrinae, a subfamily of eusocial wasps endemic to the Oriental Region which are included in the family Vespidae.
Rhynchium brunneum is a species of potter wasp found in Asia. Across the wide range, they show considerable variation in the patterning and several subspecies have been described, including:
Pseudagris is an Afrotropical genus of large potter wasps, formerly treated as a subgenus within Synagris.
Delta esuriens is a species of potter wasp found in tropical Asia, belonging to the Vespidae family. They can be separated from the similar looking Delta pyriforme by the presence of a yellow band on the metasomal petiole segment.
