Philanthidae is one of the largest families of wasp in the superfamily Apoidea, with 1167 species in 8 genera. Most of the species (more than 870) are in the genus Cerceris.
== Taxonomy and phylogeny == Historically, this group has frequently been accorded family status. Later interpretations include status as a subfamily of a broadly defined Sphecidae or Crabronidae. Subsequent revision of the superfamily Apoidea has elevated the group back to family status.
