Summary 
A synonymic checklist of the genus-group names in the Eumeni- 
nae is provided. Presently, 177 genera with 34 additional subgenera 
are considered valid. Neodiscoelius Stange, 1979, is newly synonym- 
ized with Protodiscoelius, Dalla Torre, 1904; Hy palast oroides 
depressus Soika, 1969, is synonymized with Odynerus relativus Fox, 
1902; the subgenus Cephalastor Soika, 1982, is raised to genus; and 
type-species are designated for Nesodynerus Perkins, 1901, and 
Stenolabus Schulthess, 1910.
