Subfamily Sphindinae Jacquelin du Val, 1860

Coniporina C. G. Thomson, 1859: 90 [stem: Conipor-]. Type genus: Coniporus C. G. Thomson, 1859 [placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1997); syn. of Aspidiphorus Dejean, 1821]. Comment: permanently invalid (Art. 39): based on suppressed type genus.

Sphindides Jacquelin du Val, 1860: 224 [stem: Sphind-]. Type genus: Sphindus Dejean, 1821 [placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1997)]. Comment: original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form by Kiesenwetter (1877: 7, as Sphindini ), generally accepted as in Lawrence and Newton (1995: 872, as Sphindidae ).

Aspidiphoridae Kiesenwetter, 1877: 198 [stem: Aspidiphor-]. Type genus: Aspidiphorus Dejean, 1821 [ Arpidiphorus , the original spelling of the type genus, as well as Aspidophorus Agassiz, 1846 were placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology and Aspidiphorus was placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1997)]. Comment: this name (as Aspidiphoridae Kiesenwetter, 1877 (1859)) was placed on the Official List of Family-Group Names in Zoology and ruled under the plenary power that this and other family-group names based on Aspidiphorus are not to be given priority over Sphindidae and other family-group names based on Sphindus Dejean, 1821 whenever their type genera are placed in the same family-group taxon (ICZN 1997).

Eurysphindinae Sen Gupta and Crowson, 1979: 180, in key [stem: Eurysphind-]. Type genus: Eurysphindus J. L. LeConte, 1878.
