text: # Odynerus
  
  Odynerus is a primarily Holarctic genus of potter wasps.
  
  The name of this genus has been widely used as a root to construct many other genus-level names for potter wasps with non-petiolated metasoma, such as Euodynerus, Acarodynerus, Stenodynerus, Parodontodynerus and Incodynerus.
