Podalonia is a genus of parasitoidal wasps in the family Sphecidae.[https://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id236076/ Biolib]
The genus is present worldwide with the exception of South America.{{Cite web |url=http://fauna.naturkundemuseum-berlin.de/full_results.php?id=196171 |title=Fauna europaea |access-date=2015-08-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222143646/http://fauna.naturkundemuseum-berlin.de/full_results.php?id=196171 |archive-date=2015-12-22 |url-status=dead }} These wasps are similar to the related sand wasp genus, Ammophila, but they have a much shorter petiole, and the abdomen is slightly stronger.{{cite book|author1=Richard M. Bohart|author2=Richard Mitchell Bohart|author3=Arnold S. Menke|title=Sphecid Wasps of the World: A Generic Revision|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_FExMjuRhjpIC|date=1 January 1976|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-02318-5}}
The females lay their nests in the sand. They normally incubate in large, hairless caterpillars of moths in the family Noctuidae.
