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.
Elisella is a monotypic South African genus of potter wasps. The sole species is Elisella linae.
Knemodynerus is a genus of potter wasps distributed through the Palearctic, Afrotropical, Indomalayan and Australasian regions. The species currently classified in the genus are:
Omicrabulus is an Afrotropical genus of potter wasps.
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.
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:
Extreuodynerus is an Afrotropical genus of potter wasps with a single described species Extreuodynerus mirificus.
Gioiella is an afrotropical genus of potter wasps with three described species.
Globepipona is an afrotropical genus of potter wasps with a single species, Globepipona zairensis.
Globodynerus is an afrotropical genus of potter wasps with a single species, Globodynerus globosus.

Zetheumenidion is a small afrotropical genus of potter wasps currently containing 5 species, one of them with two recognized subspecies. The species are distributed through southern and eastern Africa.
Emeryrhynchium is a monotypical afrotropical genus of potter wasps known from Equatorial Africa. Its only known species is Emeryrhynchium emeryanus.
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.
Katamenes arbustorum is a species of potter wasp in the subfamily Eumeninae of the family Vespidae.
