03AA87D0FFF1FF99FF71F969FB8E5522.taxon	description	CALIFORNIA: Marin County, Tamalpais; 19 September 2020, 1649 PDT; T. Brookshire. Host: Calisoga longitarsis [det. M. Hedin], adult male. The wasp attempted to re-sting the immobilized false tarantula as it laid on a sidewalk, dorsal side upward, while grasping the end of its second left leg with her mandibles (Brookshire 2020). CALIFORNIA: Santa Clara County, Cupertino, Montebello Road, Picchetti Ranch Open Space Preserve; 13 September 2015; T. L. Hammond. Host: Calisoga longitarsis [det. M. Hedin], adult or subadult female, with abdomen and right rear leg detached and lying on the ground. The spider might have been mutilated by the adult wasp for feeding, by two adult wasps fighting over its possession, or by foraging ants that frequently amputate and carry off body parts. This observation does not support successful development of the wasp larva if an egg is laid on the spider’s abdomen. Nonetheless, the wasp dragged the mutilated false tarantula backwards on the ground, dorsal side upward, grasping the middle of its right foreleg with her mandibles (Hammond 2015). The wasp was initially misidentified as Pepsis pallidolimbata Lucas in Kurczewski et al. (2020 b),	en	Kurczewski, Frank E., West, Rick C., Waichert, Cecilia, Pitts, James P.

Peralta, Mar del Plata, Argentina and R. C. West], juvenile. The wasp is seen in several photographs feeding on a small, immobilized spider, using her mouthparts to imbibe fluids exuding from the sting puncture (s) on the underside of its cephalothorax as it laid ventral side upward on a leaf. The mandibles are evidently assisting by squeezing the area. This spider is too small, in comparison to the size of the wasp, for use as a host for a developing spider wasp larva. Furthermore, no photograph shows the wasp attempting to transport the spider elsewhere. The wasp flew away and did not return after imbibing fluids from the spider. The 2 nd and 3 rd left legs were cut off at the coxa-trochanter joints at which point there is “ bleeding ” of hemolymph. There are also droplets of hemolymph on the underside of the cephalothorax, perhaps where the spider was stung by the wasp (Dias 2021 d; Dias 2021 pers. comm).

The wasp is grasping the immobilized huntsman spider midway on its right pedipalp with her mandibles, while pulling it backwards, dorsal side upward, vertically up a debarked upright post with a natural cavity part way up. Two other photographs show the spider positioned inside of the cavity, apart from the wasp. It is unknown whether the wasp placed the spider in the cavity in order to rest, after the strenuous prey transport, or whether she put it there in order to lay an egg on its abdomen and conceal it with debris (Roy 2021).	en	Kurczewski, Frank E., West, Rick C., Waichert, Cecilia, Pitts, James P.

Host: Xenoctenus marmoratus Mello-Leitão (Xenoctenidae), adult male [det. N. Ferretti, CERZOS- CONICET, UNS, Bahia Blanca, AR; D. Fernanda Silva Davila, UNMSM, Lima, PE], 14 mm long (wasp, 14 mm). The wasp grasped the spider’s right pedipalp near the end with her mandibles and dragged it backwards, dorsal side upward, across the outer concrete sidewalk of the park. She then pulled it across cobbled rock into a hole at the base of a low retaining wall (Greefpool 2020 a; Greefpool, Chilecito, La Roija, AR, pers. comm. 2020). Greefpool (2020 b) photographed this wasp or another female without prey at the same location on 13 November 2020, 2034 hours, searching for openings (presumably a nesting site) in the retaining wall (Greefpool pers. comm. 2020). BOLIVIA: Santa Cruz Department, Santa Cruz; 31 December 2004, 0956 CET; J-P. Boerekamps. Host: Ctenus sp., adult male.

Three videos show the wasp dragging the immobilized banana spider backwards on the ground. The wasp maintained the spider dorsal side upward while grasping its left pedipalp with her mandibles. Suddenly, a squareback marsh crab [Armases? angustum (Smith)] (Sesarmidae) emerged from a ground hole and, using its claw, grasped the spider from the wasp. The wasp made several attempts to retake the spider from the crab to no avail. The crab simply brushed the wasp away with its walking leg. The crab disappeared into a crevice on the ground holding the spider with its claw and the wasp flew away (Zaupa 2020).	en	Kurczewski, Frank E., West, Rick C., Waichert, Cecilia, Pitts, James P.
