Entypus unifasciatus unifasciatus (Say) View in CoL (Eastern tawny-horned spider wasp)

Five words is a long and cumbersome common name! Entypus fulvicornis is another “tawny-horned spider wasp” restricted to the eastern U. S., thereby introducing some geographical name confusion! As in E. fulvicornis , the antennae of E. u. unifasciatus are not “horns” and they are not “tawny” in color. They are similar to those of E. fulvicornis in being yellow to yellowish-orange in live individuals ( Fig. 7 View Figures 7–12 ). This taxon is a rather large, attractive, common species that inhabits the United States east of the 98 th meridian ( Townes 1957).
