Genus STENODYNERUS Saussure 



Stenodynerus Saussure, 1863. Soc. Phys. Hist. Nat. Geneve, Mem. 16: 228. Proposed 

 originally as a division of Odynerus subg. Leionotus Sauss.; validated by Op. 893, 

 Internatl. Comn. Zool. Nomencl., 1970. 



Type-species: Odynerus chinensis Saussure. Desig. by Bohart, 1939. 

 Nannodynerus Bluethgen, 1938. Konowia 16: 281. 



Type-species: Lionotus teutonicus Bluethgen. Orig. desig. 



Most species utilize as nesting sites abandoned borings of other insects in twigs, stems or 

 wood, or old mud-dauber nests. A few make burrows in soil for a nesting site; in at least one spe- 

 cies a mud turret is constructed over the burrow entrance. Most species prey upon caterpillars, 

 but two of the ground-nesting species use larvae of both Lepidoptera and Coleoptera.
