Orientalicesa is a small Indomalayan genus of potter wasps.
The genus was first described under the name Kennethia by Antonio Giordani Soika, who misspelled the name as Kennetia in his original description of the genus. [1] As the generic name was already preoccupied by Kennethia De Deckker, 1979, a genus of Crustacea in the family Notodromadidae, the replacement name of Orientalicesa was designated by Koçak and Kemal in 2010. In that work the newly proposed genus name was not explicitly given a gender, but their list of recombinations had adjectival names consistently formed as feminine, so the genus is feminine under ICZN Article 30.2.3. However, some later authors have spelled some names as if the genus were masculine. [2]
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.
Eumenes is a genus of wasps in the subfamily Eumeninae. It is a large and widespread genus, with over 100 species and subspecies occurring worldwide. The genus was first proposed by Pierre André Latreille in 1802, with the type species later designated by Latreille in 1810. All species make jug-like nests out of mud, usually attached to twigs. The larvae are fed with caterpillars.
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.
Katamenes is a genus of potter wasps with species distributed in Europe and Africa. When originally named by Edmund Meade-Waldo, Katemenes was monotypic, containing only K. watsoni, but other species have since been moved from Eumenes to Katamenes.
Pseudabispa is an Australian and Papuan genus of potter wasps containing 5 species, one of them subdivided in 4 subspecies.
Stenodyneriellus is an Australasian and Indomalayan genus of potter wasps.
Subancistrocerus is an Australian, Indomalayan, African and Palearctic genus of potter wasps. Males of this genus used to have an enlarged antennal tip.
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.
Knemodynerus is a genus of potter wasps distributed through the Palearctic, Afrotropical, Indomalayan and Australasian regions. The species currently classified in the genus are:
Leptomenes is a mainly Afrotropical genus of potter wasps. It was previously a much larger genus, though many species have been transferred to other genera such as Eumenidiopsis, Stroudia, and Tachymenes.
Eustenancistrocerus is an Afrotropical, Palearctic and Oriental genus of potter wasps. The species in this genus include:
Ischnogasteroides is an Afrotropical and Palearctic genus of potter wasps. It currently includes the following species:
Ovodynerus is an Afrotropical genus of potter wasps which contains eleven species.
Paravespa is an Afrotropical and Palearctic genus of potter wasps.
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
Gribodia is an Indomalayan genus of potter wasps. It contains the following species:
Jucancistrocerus is a Palearctic genus of potter wasps. The currently species assigned to Jucancistrocerus are:
Labochilus is a Palearctic genus of potter wasps. It contains the following species:

Rhynchium brunneum is a species of potter wasp found in Asia. Across the wide distribution range, they show considerable variation in the patterning and several subspecies have been described, including:
