Blackwell. Host: Calisoga longitarsis (Simon) (Nemesiidae) [det. M. Hedin], adult or subadult female. Several photographs show the immobilized funnel-web trapdoor spider lying dorsal side upward near or slightly inside of its burrow with the wasp standing nearby. The wasp, using her mandibles and legs, enticed or extracted the spider from its retreat, grappled with and stung it, then used the spider’s burrow as a nest (Blackwell 2022).</p> <p>MEXICO: Zacatecas State, Susticacán Municipality, El Chiquihuite; 8 July 2023, 1349 CDT; M. Sykes. Host: Eucteniza? panchovillai Bond and Godwin (Euctenizidae), adult female. The wasp walked backwards on the ground, maintaining the immobilized spider ventral side upward, while grasping the patella of its left hindleg with her mandibles. She pulled the spider up a soil embankment holding it dorsal side upwards and sideways, released it on its right side next to its trapdoor, raised the trapdoor with her mandibles and forelegs, and entered the opening upside down. She exited from beneath the flap several seconds later, grasped and pulled the spider, ventral side upward, into its burrow by its spinnerets with her mandibles (Fig. 1; Sykes 2023a, b).</p> <p>Calopompilus pyrrhomelas, a common western states species, is host specific on trapdoor spiders belonging to the families Antrodiaetidae, Euctenizidae, and Nemesiidae (Krombein 1979; Kurczewski et al. 2020, 2022b, 2023). Additional studies of this species confirm that C. pyrrhomelas uses the spider’s burrow as a nest (Kurczewski et al. 2023).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FA37986CFF87F748FF14004F9A4AFD75	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Welch. Host: Sossipus floridanus Simon (Lycosidae) [det. G. B. Edwards], adult male. The wasp grasped the immobilized grass spider by its right chelicera and, holding it dorsal side upward, hung downward while grasping an upright twig with her legs. Maintaining this grasp of the spider, she transported it for more than 2 meters across grasses and small woody shrubs and, eventually, into a very small hole into the ground (Welch 2022).</p> <p>Kurczewski and Kiernan (2015) reported eight host records for five different species of Agelenopsis Giebel (Agelenidae) for Priocnessus nebulosus, indicating a high degree of prey specificity. Sossipes floridanus (Lycosidae) is a new host family, genus, and species for P. nebulosus. Sossipus Simon is the only wolf spider (Lycosidae) genus that makes a sheet-web with a funnel-shaped retreat, similar to the funnel web of Agelenidae. Sossipus is apparently filling an ecological niche in certain areas in replacing Agelenopsis as host spider for P. nebulosus. The method of prey transport of P. nebulosus whereby the wasp straddles the spider, grasps its chelicera with her mandibles, and walks forward on the ground without amputating the prey’s legs at the coxa-trochanter joints is a highly unusual method in the Pompilidae (Evans and Yoshimoto 1962; Kurczewski 2010).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FA37986CFF8EF740FF1404659F99FABC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

P. F. T. Cavalcanti. Host: Araneus horizonte Levi (Araneidae), adult female. Capture and immobilization of the host spider was not seen. The wasp cached the paralyzed spider, dorsal side upward with legs spread, on a large broad leaf, many centimeters above the ground. She walked around the spider with wings raised at&gt;45° angle, cleaned her face and mouthparts as they extended downward, and cleaned her stinger with her hind tarsi. She flew to the ground and began loosening the reddish soil surface with her mandibles and moving the soil backwards using her forelegs alternately, depositing the soil in front of the excavation. She continued to use her mandibles considerably to loosen the soil as she dug deeper and raked the soil backwards with the forelegs moving alternately, holding her wings at a 45° angle as she backed from the opening. After several minutes of digging, she paused and flew to the immobilized spider, then to the ground surface holding the orb-weaver, and, without hesitation, dragged it rapidly backwards across the ground and released it on the ground near her burrow, keeping her wings raised at a&gt;45° angle. During transport she held the spider dorsal side upward, grasping the base of its third right leg with her mandibles. She entered and re-inspected the burrow, emerged quickly, grasped the spider with her mandibles by the tibia of its third right leg and pulled it downward into the burrow. It is likely that the wasp grasped the spider by its spinnerets to pull it further down and into the ovoid cell. After several minutes, the wasp appeared headfirst in the burrow as she flung soil backward into the opening, using her forelegs alternately. She finished the nest closure by vigorously hammering the soil fill with the apex of her metanotum, her entire body and wings shaking vigorously in the process (Cavalcanti 2022a, b, c, d).</p> <p>Araneus horizonte is a new host family, genus, and species for Poecilopompilus costatus.

Reck. Host: Misumenops callinurus Mello-Leitão (Thomisidae), adult female. The wasp examined the immobilized crab spider with its antennae and mouthparts as it laid dorsal side upward on a large rock. She grasped the spider by its right pedipalp or chelicera with her mandibles, dorsal side upward, and dragged it backwards across the ground (Reck 2009).</p> <p>Misumenops callinurus is a new host species and uncommon family for Poecilopompilus mixtus. Poecilopompilus mixtus is unusual among congeners in provisioning nests with immobilized Araneidae or Thomisidae in Brazil, Costa Rica, and Dominican Republic (Kurczewski et al. 2022b).</p> <p>BRAZIL: São Paulo State, São Sebastião da Grama; 27 March 2023; P. L. C. Dias. Host: Nephilingis cruentata (Fabricius) (Araneidae) (African hermit spider), immature. The wasp stood on the ground holding the paralyzed African hermit spider, ventral side upward, grasping its chelicera with her mandibles. The wasp would have found this introduced and established species of spider in its arboreal web, engaged it, and chased it to the ground. (Dias 2023).</p> <p>Nephilingis cruentata is a new host araneid genus and species for Poecilopompilus mixtus.</p> <p>COLOMBIA: Cundinamarca Department, Tena Municipality; 17 July 2022, 1247 PM; D. Amaya. Host:? Wagneriana sp. (Araneidae), adult female. The wasp grasped the immobilized orb-weaver by its left forecoxa-trochanter joint with her mandibles and walked backwards through a tangle of grasses, holding the spider in a cephalothorax upward position (Amaya 2022).</p> <p>Wagneriana sp. (Araneidae), if correct, has been reported once previously for Poecilopompilus mixtus from Peru (Kurczewski et al. 2020). This pompilid species preys on a variety of araneid genera and Thomisidae (Kurczewski et al. 2020, 2022b).</p> <p>COLOMBIA: Valle de Cauca Department, Cartago; 4, 8 June 2023, 1323–1700 PM; J. D. Arango. Host: Metazygia laticeps (O. P.-Cambridge) (Araneidae), adult male. The wasp stood atop the surface of a leaf holding the paralyzed orb-weaver, left side upright, grasping the coxal joint of its left foreleg with her mandibles and stood over the immobilized male orb-weaver as it laid ventral side upward (Arango 2023c).</p> <p>Metazygia laticeps is a new host species for Poecilopompilus mixtus.</p> <p>COSTA RICA: Alajuela Province, San Ramón, Soltis Center; 9 May 2022; S. Marshall. Host: Eustala sp. (Araneidae) [det. C. Viquez], adult female. There are three photographs of this wasp with an immobilized orb-weaver on a broad leaf plant above ground level. The wasp’s wings are held upward at a 45–60° angle above her dorsum. The smaller orb-weaver is retained ventral side upward or on its left or right side. In the first photograph, the wasp is lapping up regurgitated fluid from the spider’s mouthparts using her own mouthparts. The second and third photographs show the wasp grasping the coxa-trochanter joint of the spider’s left foreleg or second left leg with her mandibles (Marshal 2022; S. Marshall, pers. comm.).</p> <p>Eustala sp. (Araneidae) is reported herein as a new host genus for P. mixtus. Poecilopompilus mixtus is rather polyphagous in host selection having been photographed or collected with immobilized species of Araneidae in Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Puerto Rico, Haiti, and Cuba; and Thomisidae in Costa Rica and Dominican Republic (Kurczewski et al. 2013, 2020, 2022b).</p> <p>HAITI: Ouest Department, Croix-des-Bouquets Arrondissement, Thomazeau Commune; 11 January 2015; R.

Campbell. Host: Amaurobius ferox (Walckenaer) (Amaurobiidae), adult female. The wasp grasped the black lace weaver by its right pedipalp with her mandibles, dorsal side upward, and dragged it backwards across crushed rocks and dried leaves (Campbell 2022).</p> <p>This is the first host record for T. ferrugineus for the family Amaurobiidae of ~3000 Western Hemisphere host records (Kurczewski, pers. obs.). Amaurobius ferox is usually found near man-made structures. The host spider prefers dark areas, such as underneath logs or inside cellars, and often lives in moist, shaded crevices underneath stones or dilapidated walls. Tachypompilus ferrugineus frequently nests in openings in man-made structures (Kurczewski 2022a).</p> <p>NEW YORK: Kings County, Brooklyn, Greenwood Heights; 17 August 2022; 1354–1414 EDT; M. Wills. Host: Tigrosa helluo (Walckenaer) (Lycosidae) [det. G. B. Edwards], subadult female and juvenile. The first wasp pulled the much smaller T. helluo backwards up and over a 1.5 m-high tombstone and disappeared into a shrub behind it. She grasped the spider by it right fore patella with her mandibles while retaining it dorsal side upward throughout the transport. This wasp was twice the body length of the juvenile spider. Twenty minutes later and 70 m away, another wasp attacked and stung a much larger T. helluo of equal size, ~ 20 mm long. She stood on her mid- and hindlegs, positioned her entire abdomen underneath her head and thorax, and stung the spider several times in the underside of its abdomen. The spider staggered away in partial paralysis, probably because it was stung in its abdomen instead of the usual place, in the underside of the cephalothorax near the leg bases. The wasp flew away as the spider continued to walk around in a sluggish manner (Wills 2022a, b, c, d).</p> <p>Tigrosa helluo (Lycosidae) is not a new host record for Tachypompilus ferrugineus (Kurczewski et al. 2022). However, the observations of the wasps and host spiders were so unusual that they were deemed recordable. Kurczewski (1989) reported on an aggregation of T. ferrugineus that was capturing wolf spiders and nesting underneath an upright cemetery monument in Oakwood Cemetery, Syracuse, NY.</p> <p>NORTH CAROLINA: Stokes County, Meadows; 12 August 2023; 1920 EDT; C. Hicks. Host: Agelenopsis naevia (Walckenaer) (Agelenidae), adult male. The wasp grasped the grass or funnel-weaver spider by its left or right pedipalp with her mandibles and dragged it backwards across mostly barren ground (Hicks 2023).</p> <p>This is the first T. ferrugineus host record for Agelenidae from the eastern United States. Agelenidae is a very rare host spider family for T. ferrugineus. We are aware of only five Agelenopsis (Agelenidae) host records of ~3000 total host records for this Western Hemisphere spider wasp species, all others being from the western U. S. and Mexico (Kurczewski et al. 2022a, pers. obs.).</p> <p>VIRGINIA: Henrico County, near Richmond; 21 July 2022, 1056 EDT; A. Harris. Host: Agelenopsis Giebel, Calilena Chamberlin and Ivie, or Melpomene O. Pickard-Cambridge sp. [det. R. Bradley], adult or subadult female. The wasp grasped the grass spider by its right pedipalp with her mandibles and, maintaining it dorsal side upward, dragged it backwards across the ground, stones, pavement, and dried leaves (Harris 2022).</p> <p>This is only the second agelenid host record for T. ferrugineus from the eastern United States of ~3000 host records for this spider wasp species (Kurczewski, pers. obs.).</p> <p>BRAZIL: Rio de Janeiro State, Itatiaia County; 9 November 2011. 1220 PM; P. Romano, Host: Enoploctenus cyclothorax (Bertkau) (Ctenidae) [det. R. Bertani], adult or subadult female. The wasp grasped the left pedipalp of the wandering spider with her mandibles and, maintaining it dorsal side upward, pulled it backwards across a concrete patio or sidewalk (Romano 2011).</p> <p>This is the third host record for Enoploctenus cyclothorax of ~3000 total host records for Tachypompilus ferrugineus in the Western Hemisphere. Both males and females of E. cyclothorax are captured (Kurczewski 2022b).</p> <p>BRAZIL: Santa Catarina State, Garopaba County; 20 January 2023, 1647 PM; L. Zanella. Host: Phoneutria keyserlingi (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge) (Ctenidae), adult female. The wasp examined the immobilized armed spi- der with her antennae from several different positions as it laid on the sand dorsal side upward. She attempted to drag the very large spider backwards across the ground, dorsal side upward, by grasping its left chelicera or left pedipalp with her mandibles. She may have been unable to transport the much larger spider because of its overwhelming size and weight as it continued to lie on the sand (Zanella 2023).</p> <p>There is one other host record for Phoneutria keyserlingi by Tachypompilus ferrugineus in Brazil (Kurczewski et al. 2022a). The genus Phoneutria Perty is a predominant host genus of T. ferrugineus in Brazil (Kurczewki et al. 2022a).</p> <p>ECUADOR: Pastaza Province, Pastaza Canton; 27 November 2004, 1116 AM; S. H. BrØndum. Host: Sadala? rufa (Keyserling) (Sparassidae), adult or subadult female. The wasp walked backwards up a tree trunk, grasping the left pedipalp of the huntsman spider with her mandibles while retaining it in a dorsal side upward position (BrØndum 2004).</p> <p>Sadala? rufa (Sparassidae) is a new host genus and species for T. ferrugineus. Tachypompilus ferrugineus is polyphagous in host selection, capturing mainly lycosoid spiders (Lycosidae, Pisauridae, Trechaleidae, Ctenidae) and, rarely, other cursorial hunting spiders. Sparassidae constituted the host family for T. ferrugineus in only 36 (1.6%) of 2300 host records (Kurczewski et al. 2022a).</p> <p>MEXICO: Chihuahua State, Satevó Municipality; 5 July 2022, 1936 MDT; R. Torres. Host: Olios giganteus Keyserling (Sparassidae), adult or subadult female. The wasp grasped the immobilized huntsman spider by its left pedipalp with her mandibles and, retaining it dorsal side upward, walked backwards across a concrete ledge (Torres 2022).</p> <p>Sparassidae is an uncommon host spider family for T. ferrugineus in northern Mexico and is the first such record from the State of Chihuahua (Kurczewski 2022a). There is one record of Olios giganteus as host spider of T. ferrugineus from south-central Texas and several records from central and southern Mexico (Kurczewski et al. 2022a).</p> <p>MEXICO: Colima State, Comala; 1 March 2023; C. Joel. Host: Selenops actophilus Chamberlin (Selenopidae), adult or subadult female. The wasp straddled the wall crab spider, venter to dorsum, and stung it near its right chelicera and pedipalp. She dismounted and walked around the paralyzed spider, periodically examining it with her antennae, as it laid dorsal side upward on the ground (Castillo 2023).</p> <p>Selenopidae is a highly unusual host spider family for T. ferrugineus (Kurczewski et al. 2022a). This is only the second record for this spider family of ~3000 T. ferrugineus host records (Kurczewski, pers. obs.).</p> <p>MEXICO: Michoacán State, Morelia; 2 July 2022, 1840 CDT; M. Riensche. Host: Zorocrates fuscus Simon (Zoropsidae), adult or subadult female. The wasp grasped the immobilized false wolf spider, dorsal side upward, by the tibia of its left foreleg and pulled it backwards across bare soil and a sidewalk (Riensche 2022).</p> <p>Previous records for Zorocrates fuscus as host spider of T. ferrugineus from Mexico are from the States of Guanajuato, México, and Oaxaca (Kurczewski et al. 2020, 2022b).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FA37986CFF96F75AFF14004B98ABFBD8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Species of Calymmaria are common in cool, damp forests of the West Coast, and their webs can be found along streams (Heiss 2004). Anoplius imbellis is particularly abundant on the West Coast (Wasbauer and Kimsey 1985). This spider wasp is quite small, averaging 7.5 (5–10) mm long (Evans 1951). The typical host spider of A. imbellis, Pardosa ramulosa McCook, lives near water and hunts aquatic insects. Anoplius imbellis hunts this spider along the margins of still water. Species of Pardosa C. L. Koch have long legs and are called “thin-legged wolf spiders.” Calymmaria Chamberlin and Ivie also has long legs and wandering males may visually resemble Pardosa ramulosa.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FA37986CFF9AF754FF14063A9FDAFCB3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
