Abstract
The taxonomic history and current taxonomic status of the presocial potter wasp genus Calligaster de Saussure, 1852, at generic and species levels are reviewed. The hitherto-unknown female of Calligaster viridipennis Giordani Soika, 1960, is described based on specimens newly collected in Central and Southeast Sulawesi. A key to species is also provided.
