Subfamily Anthophorinae
Doesn't this tribe belong to the Subfamily Anthophorinae, rather than Apinae?
… Beatriz Moisset, 29 June, 2005 - 1:55pm

 
Anthophorinae is no longer recognized
there are now three subfamilies of Apidae: Xylocopinae, Nomadinae, and Apinae

Anthophorinae
I'm not sure what the alternative classifications are, but I was following the classification on this page, which has them as a tribe under Apinae, when I re-organized the bees.

Good point
It looks like the subfamily Anthophorinae is obsolete. Lynette recently created a page for it, we'll have to be consistent.
