Diagnosis of male. The male of this species clearly differs from other males by having flat hypopygium with dense long erect setae ( Figs 13, 14 View FIGURES 1 – 19 vs. 1–12, 15–37). Genitalia as in Fig. 43 View FIGURES 38 – 43 .

Diagnosis of female. The female of this species is distinguished from other females of the subgenus Ammosphex by having ratio of eye width to half frontal width 0.8 and less (0.9 and more in A. (A.) anceps ( Wesmael, 1851) and A. (A.) wolfi Lelej, 1995 ), by protarsomere 1 with three short spines of tarsal comb (with four long spines in A. (A.) kaszabi Wolf and Móczár, 1972 ), by first flagellomere length 4.3 × and less its width (4.4 × in A. (A.) zonsteini sp. nov.), by apical flagellomere length almost 3 × its width (2 × in A. (A.) orientausa sp. nov.), and by mesopleuron and propodeum with brownish micropubescence (silver or gray micropubescence in other females). Clypeus as in Fig. 65 View FIGURES 57 – 66 . Metapostnotum as in Fig. 85 View FIGURES 77 – 94 . Venation of fore wing as in Fig. 107.

Distribution. Russia (Primorskiy Terr., *Amurskaya Prov., Sakhalin; Transbaikalskiy Terr., Buryatia, Irkutsk Prov.), Mongolia, East Kazakhstan ( Lelej 2005), Kyrgyzstan ( Zonstein 2002).

Biology. Inhabits steppe areas and sandy shores along rivers and sea.

Remarks. One female of Arachnospila (Ammosphex) mongolica from Transbaikalia somewhat differs from other examined females by the sculpture of anterior part of clypeus and by somewhat longer and denser setae on the frons and propodeum laterally. We regard these characters as variable and figure this specimen ( Figs 69 View FIGURES 67 – 76. 67 – 75 , 90 View FIGURES 77 – 94 , 114).
