Hylaeinae Sagemehl
Hylaeidae
Sagemehl, 1882: 463
.

genus:
Hylaeus

COMMENT: As noted by
Michener (1999)
and
Engel
(2005)
, the name Prosopiariae
Fallén, 1813
has priority over
Hylaeidae
, however, the family-group name based on
Hylaeus
has been conserved over that based on
Prosopis
Fabricius (
ICZN, 1993
)
.
