description: In summary, we subdivide the Bembicini in eight subtribes, based on the present cladistic analysis:
1. Heliocausina Handlirsch 1925. Included genera: Acanthocausus, Heliocausus, Tiguipa.
2. Exeirina Dalla Torre 1897. (= Argogorytina Nemkov and Lelej 1996, syn. nov.). Included genera: Argogorytes, Clitemnestra, Exeirus, Olgia, Neogorytes, Paraphilanthus.
3. Gorytina Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau 1845. (= Trichogorytina Nemkov and Pulawski 2009, syn. nov.). Included genera: Afrogorytes, Allogorytes, Arigorytes, Aroliagorytes, Austrogortyes, † Biamogorytes, Eogorytes, Epigorytes, Gorytes, Hapalomellinus, Harpactostigma, Harpactus, Hoplisoides, Lestiphorus, Leurogorytes, Liogorytes, Megistommum, Oryttus, Psammaecius, Psammaletes, Pterygorytes, Sagenista, Saygorytes, Stenogorytes, Stethogorytes, Tretogorytes, Trichogorytes, Xerogorytes.
4. Spheciina Nemkov and Ohl, subtrib. nov. Included genera: Ammatomus, Kohlia, Sphecius, Tanyoprymnus.
Diagnosis. Inner eye margins nearly parallel or converging toward clypeus, ocelli not depressed below level of surrounding surface of vertex, midocellar lens not reduced to a scar, labrum exposed part nearly half as long as broad, posterolateral oblique scutal carina present, scutellum overlapping metanotum, forewing submarginal cell I with prestigmal length much more than length of wing beyond marginal cell, stigma minute.
5. Handlirschiina Nemkov and Lelej 1996. Included genera: Handlirschia, Pterygorytes.
6. Stizina A. Costa 1859. Included genera: Bembecinus, Stizoides, Stizus.
7. Stictiellina Bohart and Horning 1971, stat. resurr. Included genera: Chilostictia, Glenostictia, Microstictia, Steniolia, Stictiella, Xerostictia.
8. Bembicina Latreille 1802. Included genera: Bembix, Bicyrtes, Carlobembix, Editha, Hemidula, Microbembex, Rubrica, Selman, Stictia, Trichostictia, Zyzzyx.
