“…When the author originally used an incorrect spelling for the stem (nomen imperfectum) I have provided the name as it first appeared, followed by how the name should have appeared with a corrected stem. For example, Cockerell and Atkins (1902) proposed the name Ericrocinae based on the type genus Ericrocis; however, the stem is incorrectly formed and should have been Ericrocidinae. Such incorrect original stems are denoted by ''recte Ericrocidinae'' and simply indicate how the name should have appeared.…”

The 173 family-group names for bees (Apoidea: Anthophila) are cataloged in chronological order. For each name the correct author, date, type genus, and combining stem are provided. The following names are considered nomina nuda: Phenacolletini, Ctenioschelini, †Chalicodomopsini, Liphanthini, Austropanurgini, and Hoplitini. The authorship of three names (Tapinotaspidini, Hexepeolini, and Ancyloscelidina) is corrected as each was a nomen nudum when first proposed, but has been subsequently made available by other authors. The following new names are proposed herein: Scraptrinae Ascher and Engel, new subfamily (Colletidae); Neffapini Ascher, new tribe (Andrenidae: Panurginae); Afrodasypodini Engel, new tribe (Melittidae: Dasypodainae), Afrodasypoda Engel, new genus; Hesperapina Ascher and Engel, new subtribe (Melittidae: Dasypodainae); Macrogaleina Engel, new subtribe (Apidae: Xylocopinae); and Ancyloscelidina Engel and Michener, new subtribe (Apidae: Apinae). A hierarchical outline of Apoidea classification (inclusive of the digger wasps), indicating the suggested current usage of all available family-group names is appended. The name Anthophila, as proposed by Latreille, is adopted for the bees as a whole. TABLE 1 Categorical Ranks in the Family-Group Hyperfamily (-oides) a Superfamily (-oidea) Epifamily (-oidae) a Family (-idae) Subfamily (-inae) Supertribe (-iti) b Tribe (-ini) Subtribe (-ina) Infratribe (-ita) a Clan (-itoi) a,c Subclan (-iloi) a,c Infraclan (-isoi) a,c Chaste (-isoa) a,c Note: Ranks and suffixes are modified from those proposed by Bour and Dubois (1984) and McKenna and Bell (1997); ranks in boldface employed herein. a Rank not employed herein, but could be used to enrich the hierarchical classification at a later date (I cannot at present envision any utility, however, for recognizing family-group ranks below infratribe in the Apoidea). b Bour and Dubois (1984) suggested the suffix-inoi for the rank of supertribe; however, I have used the more commonly employed suffix-iti. c The ranks can only be loosely classified in the family group and names proposed for these ranks should perhaps not be considered coordinate with those of the higher, more tranditional family-group categories.
