A preliminary detective survey for the hymenopteran insect fauna of Jazan Lake dam region, Southwest Saudi Arabia, was carried out for one year from January 2018 to January 2019 using mainly sweep nets and Malaise traps. The survey revealed the presence of three hymenopteran Superfamilies (Apoidea, Vespoidea and Evanioidea) representing 15 species belonging to 10 genera of 6 families (Apidae, Crabronidae, Sphecidae, Vespidae, Mutillidae, and Evaniidae). The largest number of species has belonged to the family Crabronidae is represented by 6 species under 2 genera. While the family Apidae, is represented by 2 species under 2 genera. Family Vespidae is represented by 2 species of one genus. While, the rest of the families Sphecidae, Mutillida, and Evaniidae each is represented by only one species and one genus each. Eleven species are predators, two species are pollinators and two species are parasitics. Note for each family was provided, and species was provided with synonyms and general and taxonomic remarks and their worldwide geographic distribution and information about their economic importance are also included. All species were photographed with dorsal and lateral views.
2018年1月至2019年1月，在沙特阿拉伯西南部的贾赞湖大坝地区开展了一项为期一年的膜翅目昆虫区系初步调查，主要使用扫网和马氏网。调查发现了三个膜翅目总科（蜜蜂总科、胡蜂总科和埃万总科），代表6个科（蜜蜂科、蛛蜂科、方头泥蜂科、胡蜂科、蚁蜂科和埃万茧蜂科）10个属的15个物种。物种数量最多的是蛛蜂科，有2个属的6个物种。而蜜蜂科有2个属的2个物种。胡蜂科有1个属的2个物种。而方头泥蜂科、蚁蜂科和埃万茧蜂科其余各科各只有1个属1个物种。11个物种是捕食性的，2个物种是传粉者，2个物种是寄生性的。提供了每个科的注释，物种还提供了同义词、一般和分类学注释，以及它们在全球的地理分布和关于其经济重要性的信息。所有物种都拍摄了背面和侧面视图。
