This is a simple list of Sphindidae types housed in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, without  literature references. The real status of the types was not studied, but it is almost certain that most of the Reitter's and other’s "holotypes" and "paratypes" are actually syntypes.

HT = holotype, PT = paratype, LT = lectotype, PLT = paralectotype,
MT = "monotype" AT = allotype, CT = cotype




Aspidophorus confusus Reitter, 1902 :1HT, 3PT
Aspidophorus japonicus Reitter, 1878: 1HT, 1PT
Sphindus brevis Reitter, 1878: 1HT, 2PT
Sphindus castaneipennis Reitter, 1878: 1HT, 2PT
