Melanocryptus Cameron, 1902 is a neotropical genus with 11 described species (Yu et al. 2016). The first three species of the genus were originally placed in different genera: Melanocryptus Cameron (1902), Lobocryptus Schmiedeknecht (1904) and Hoplophorina Szépligeti (1916). Townes Townes (1966) placed these species into a single taxon, Melanocryptus, and included the genus as part of the subtribe Mesostenina (apud Aguiar Santos, 2015). Despite this original placement, in 1970, Townes created an exclusive subtribe Melanocryptina for the genus.
黑隐蜂属（Melanocryptus Cameron，1902）是一个新热带界的属，有11个已描述的物种（Yu等人，2016）。该属的前三个物种最初被置于不同的属中：黑隐蜂属（Melanocryptus Cameron，1902）、瘤隐蜂属（Lobocryptus Schmiedeknecht，1904）和刺角隐蜂属（Hoplophorina Szépligeti，1916）。汤姆斯·汤姆斯（Townes Townes，1966）将这些物种归入一个单一的分类单元——黑隐蜂属，并将该属作为中盾亚族（Mesostenina）的一部分（根据阿吉亚尔·桑托斯（Aguiar Santos，2015）的说法）。尽管最初是这样归类的，但在1970年，汤姆斯为该属创建了一个独立的亚族——黑隐蜂亚族（Melanocryptina）。
