The Cimbicidae are a small family of large-bodied, often hairy sawflies, with only 130 species in six genera worldwide. Larvae are solitary herbivores.

The family is distinctive in having antennae with prominent apical clubs or knobs. The adults of some species can exceed 3 cm in length, and are among the heaviest of all Hymenoptera.
