22-07-07, "Laguna de La Playa", Monegros region, Aragon, Spain. Habitat: in the board of a salty marsh with Salicornia ramosissima. Between the salty marsh (now almost dry, full in winter) an the wheat fields. No trees in many km. Size: Bembex-sized  (maybe 2 cm) I can put more pictures (not mine) of the same exemplar... Thanks in advance Regards

The 'Bembix' (not Bembex) is a true Stizus. Maybe I can identify the photo later with my collection, but more pictures would be welcome (if possible, one from above, to can see tergal bands). Regards, Christian |

Its a female of Stizus continuus Klug, a species from the Iberian peninsule and southern France. Bembex is the old spelling (and therefore used in older books), Bembix the most recent spelling. Regards, Christian |
