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.[citation needed]
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]
