Abstract
This paper includes an alphabetical list of generic and subgeneric names that have been proposed for bees, with bibliographic references and indications of type species. Synonymies are not indicated, but the major group (family subfamily tribe or sometimes merely "fossil") is indicated for each. Synonymies will be indicated in a future account of world bees. New nomenclatural details include the following: Apis tlioracica Fabricius designated as type species o( Melanchxnia Perez; Paracella new subgenus of Megachile, with M. seniiivjiusta Cockerell as type species, for Paracella Pasteels, a name proposed without designation of a type species; Callistochlora new name for Callochlora Moure, 1964, not Packard, 1864; Gyrodroniella new name for Gyrodronia Thomson, 1872, not Klug, 1807; and Lithurgus Berthold, 1827, given preference over the French vernacular Lithurge Latreille, 1825. The list of family-group names in bees is corrected and up-dated.
