The Ampulicidae are one of the most basal groups within the apoid wasps, the paraphyletic assemblage of wasps previously known as Sphecidae. The morphology and taxonomy of the Ampulicidae are poorly studied, and there is no strict cladistic approach on their phylogeny yet. Here we assemble morphological characters of phylogenetic significance and submit them to parsimony analyses using modern cladistic methods. This produces a well-resolved and firmly supported phylogenetic hypothesis on the generic relationships within the group. Based on our phylogenetic results a revised classification is provided, subdividing the Ampulicidae into two monophyletic subfamilies, Ampulicinae (Ampulex and Trirogma) and Dolichurinae, the latter comprising two monophyletic tribes, Dolichurini (Dolichurus and Paradolichurus) and Aphelotomini, new tribe (Aphelotoma and Riekefella). Based on the resulting cladogram, the historical biogeography and the fossil record of Ampulicidae are briefly discussed. © The Willi Hennig Society 2009.
刺角泥蜂科是蛛蜂类中最基部的类群之一，蛛蜂类是以前被称为方头泥蜂科的一个并系群黄蜂组合。刺角泥蜂科的形态学和分类学研究较少，目前尚无关于其系统发育的严格分支系统学方法。在此，我们收集了具有系统发育意义的形态特征，并使用现代分支系统学方法对其进行简约分析。这产生了一个关于该类群内属间关系的解析度良好且有充分支持的系统发育假说。基于我们的系统发育结果，提供了一个修订后的分类，将刺角泥蜂科分为两个单系亚科，刺角泥蜂亚科（刺角泥蜂属和三突泥蜂属）和长腹泥蜂亚科，后者包括两个单系族，长腹泥蜂族（长腹泥蜂属和拟长腹泥蜂属）和新族阿费洛托族（阿费洛托泥蜂属和里氏泥蜂属）。基于所得的系统发育树，简要讨论了刺角泥蜂科的历史生物地理学和化石记录。© 威利·亨尼希学会 2009 年。
