The Zethinae are a subfamily of wasps in the family Vespidae, the members of which are referred to as potter wasps owing to their method of nest construction.
Taxonomy
Zethines were formerly included in the subfamily Eumeninae, also known as potter wasps, as the tribe Zethini until it was recognized that the zethine lineage rendered Eumeninae paraphyletic.[1]
