Allepipona is an Afrotropical genus of potter wasps.
Potter wasps, the Eumeninae, are a cosmopolitan wasp group presently treated as a subfamily of Vespidae, but sometimes recognized in the past as a separate family, Eumenidae.
The following species are included in the genus Allepipona: [1]
Allepipona erythrospila is a species of wasp in the Vespidae family. It was described by Cameron in 1905.
Peter Cameron was an English entomologist who specialised in Hymenoptera.
Allepipona erythrura is a species of wasp in the Vespidae family. It was described by Giordani Soika in 1987 and is listed in Catalogue of Life: 2011 Annual Checklist.
Eumenes is the type genus of the subfamily Eumeninae of Vespidae. It is a large and widespread genus, with over 100 taxa, mostly occurring in the temperate portions of the Northern Hemisphere. Most species are black or brown, and commonly marked with strikingly contrasting patterns of yellow, white, orange, or red. Like most vespids, their wings are folded longitudinally at rest. The first metasomal segment is narrow and elongated, creating a "bulbous" appearance to the abdomen.
Paramischocyttarus is a small afrotropical and palearctic Zethus-like genus of potter wasps.
Cyrtolabulus is an African, Indomalayan and Palearctic genus of potter wasps. It contains the following species:
Epsilon is an Indomalayan and Australasian genus of potter wasps. It contains the following species:
Knemodynerus is a genus of potter wasps distributed through the Palearctic, Afrotropical, Indomalayan and Australasian regions. The species currently classified in the genus are:
Stroudia is an Afrotropical genus of potter wasps.
Omicrabulus is an Afrotropical genus of potter wasps.
Leptomenes is a mainly Afrotriopicalgenus of potter wasps, it was previously a much larger genus but a number of other genera have now been described for species which were formerly members of this genus, e.g. Eumenidiopsis, Stroudia and Tachymenes.
Eumenidiopsis is an afrotropical genus of Afrotropical potter wasps with eight known species, which are set out below:
Eustenancistrocerus is an Afrotropical, Palearctic and Oriental genus of potter wasps. The species in this genus include:
Micreumenes is an Afrotropical genus of potter wasps with 30 described species.
Ovodynerus is an Afrotropical genus of potter wasps which contains eleven species.
Paravespa is an Afrotropical and Palearctic genus of potter wasps.
Pseudepipona is a genus of potter wasps found in the Palearctic, Nearctic, Afrotropical and Australian regions.
Gibberrhynchium is a small Afrotropical genus of potter wasps. It was considered to be monotypic with the only species being Gibberhynchium masariforme, which is widely distributed though Central Africa. A second species, Gibberrhynchium gibber, was described by Josef Gusenleitner in 2002 from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Pseudodontodynerus is a genus of potter wasps distributed throughout the Palearctic, Indomalayan and Afrotropical regions.
Pseudonortonia is a fairly large genus of potter wasps with a rich Afrotropical fauna, as well as with several species which occur throughout the Palearctic and Indomalayan regions.
Pteromenes is a monotypic Afrotropical genus of potter wasps known from Eastern Africa. Its only known species is Pteromenes paradisiacus.
Rhynchalastor is a moderately large afrotropical genus of potter wasps with 25 species currently known. Some authorities expand the genus to include species otherwise classified under related genera such as Stenodynerus
Allepipona perspicax is a species of wasp in the Vespidae family. It was described by Giordani Soika in 1987.
