In 1855, de Saussure erected the name Phi for division IV of the genus Eumenes Latrielle. The type species of this division is Vespa arcuata Fabricius, 1775, by the subsequent designation of Bequaert (1926). Since the name Phi is preoccupied by a subgenus of a New World polistine genus Mischocyttarus, Giordani Soika (1992) proposed a new name Phimenes for Phi de Saussure.
