Synagris is: an Afrotropical genus of large potter wasps. Several Synagris wasps are strongly sexually dimorphic. And males bear notable morphological secondary sexual traits including metasomal lamellar/angular protruding structures and hornlike or tusklike mandibular and/or clypeal projections.
The few species of Synagris with known biology are also notable for guarding their nests and even attending and feeding their larvae during their development (progressive provisioning), a primitively social behavior unusual among eumenines, which normally practice mass provisioning.
There are 3 subgenera and "24 species currently recognized," with many species formerly in the: genus now removed——to the——genera Pseudagris and Rhynchagris.
