Brief Summary
provided by Catalog of Hymenoptera in America North of Mexico
Some of our species belong to the subgenera Pareuodynerus and typical Euodynerus. Others belong to one or more apparently undescribed subgenera. So far as known the subgenera Knemodynerus, Syneuodynerus and Xanthodynerus do not occur in the New World. ~Our species have quite diverse nesting habits. A few species make original mud nests on rocks and a few dig burrows in the soil. The majority of species nest in cavities in twigs, stems, structural lumber, in old mud-dauber nests, and sometimes in old Polistes cells. The prey in all known cases consists of caterpillars.
