Delta pyriforme

Delta pyriforme is a species of potter wasp in the subfamily Eumeninae of the family Vespidae. They are distributed across Asia. Several populations are recognized:

  • D. p. circinale <small>(Fabricius, 1804)</small>
  • D. p. nigrocinctum <small>Giordani Soika, 1993</small>
  • D. p. philippinense <small>(Bequaert, 1928)</small>
  • D. p. pyriforme <small>(Fabricius, 1775)</small>

Delta pyriforme males have a yellow labrum and clypeus contrasting with the brown body colour. They also have a yellow pronotum and differ from Delta esuriens in lacking a yellow band on the petiole. Delta conoideum lacks yellow on the thorax.
