Bembix, sand wasps, is a cosmopolitan genus of wasps that nest in burrows in sandy soils and provision their nests with flies (Bohart & Menke 1976).

Characters (from Bohart & Menke 1976): Eyes usually diverging slightly below, least interocular distance generally greater than length of flagellomere I; midocellus reduced to an arcuate line (except in a very few species which have traces of a lens); vertex slightly below top of eyes; clypeus relatively short, broad, arched, apically concave; labrum sometimes more than twice as long as broad, often notched apically, usually flattened toward base; palpal formula 4-2, rarely 3-1; mandible subapically dentate; area of scutum between admedian lines a moderate but distinct welt; legs variable but many species with midfemur serrate below and/or dentate subapically; forewing with veinlet between first two submarginal ceils usually markedly crooked; hindwing media diverging beyond cu-a by a length usually about equal to cu-a; male tergum VII with spiracular lobes and sometimes with a laterobasal tooth on main section; male sternum II often with a keel, VI often with a process of varying form; male sternum VIII ending in a downcurved spine.
