The family-group names are arranged alphabetically by subtribe, and chronologically within each valid name. Michener (2007) and Engel (2005) were used as standard references for the validity, rank and synonymy of family-group level taxa. The family-group names listed below are, with the exception of Osmiini, not used extensively in the current literature.
