The present study is based on specimens collected from the Farasan Archipelago (southwestern Saudi Arabia), and Sala Mountain (Jazan) using Malaise traps. Eleven species in six genera and two subfamilies (Bembicinae, Crabroninae) are recorded. The genera Ammatomus A. Costa (with one species), Solierella Spinola (with two species), and Nysson Latreille (with a new species) are first recorded from Saudi Arabia. Tachysphex nitidior de Beaumont, is also first record from Saudi Arabia. Two new species: Miscophus sauditus Gadallah and Edmardash, and Nysson arabicus Gadallah and Edmardash are described and illustrated. All eleven species are new to the Farasan Archipelago. Diagnostic features, previous records to species already known from Saudi Arabia, and overall distributions are given. Illustrations of the recorded species are also provided.
本研究基于在沙特阿拉伯西南部法萨尼群岛（Farasan Archipelago）和焦赞山（Sala Mountain）使用诱捕器采集的标本。共记录到 6 属 2 亚科（Bembicinae，Crabroninae）的 11 种。其中 Ammatomus A. Costa（1 种）、Solierella Spinola（2 种）和 Nysson Latreille（1 新种）属首次在沙特阿拉伯记录。Tachysphex nitidior de Beaumont 也首次在沙特阿拉伯记录。描述并图示了 2 个新种：Miscophus sauditus Gadallah 和 Edmardash，以及 Nysson arabicus Gadallah 和 Edmardash。所有 11 种都是法萨尼群岛的新记录。给出了鉴别特征、已知种在沙特阿拉伯的先前记录以及总体分布情况。还提供了记录物种的插图。
