Gorytini is a large and morphologically very diverse group of hunting wasps distributed worldwide and particularly species-rich in tropical areas. Most species hunt various hemipterans, especially among the Auchenorrhyncha, which they sting, paralyze, and provision in underground nests as food for their larvae.
Taxonomy
The Catalog of Sphecidae doesn't recognise Gorytini as a tribe and instead places the genera in subtribes Exeirina, Gorytina, Handlirschina and Spheciina within tribe Bembicini.[1]
