The '''Stizina''' is a subtribe of small to large-sized sand wasps in the tribe Bembicini.<ref name=Nemkov2013/> The subtribe is distinguished primarily by features of wing venation. Members of the genus ''Stizus'' are large, and superficially resemble cicada-killer wasps (genus ''Sphecius'', in the related subtribe Spheciina), and members of the genus ''Stizoides'' are cleptoparasites in the nests of other crabronids.{{citation needed|date=October 2024}}
