Ammosphex
Ammosphex is a subgenus of spider wasps in the genus Arachnospila, family Pompilidae. It was established by Wilcke in 1942 and comprises species distributed across East Siberia and the Russian Far East. Recent taxonomic work has described five new species from Tuva, Khakassia, and the Republic of Altai, and expanded known distributions for eight additional species. The group is characterized by morphological features distinguishable in males, for which a revised identification key covering 24 species exists.
