Pepsis basifusca Lucas View in CoL (Errata from Kurczewski et al. 2020)

All host records listed under Pepsis basifusca in Kurczewski et al. (2020) represent wasp misidentification. The four wasps are Entypus sp. , either E. aratus (Townes) , E. austrinus (Banks) , or E. texanus (Cresson) . Three of the host spiders were identified as Hogna carolinensis species-group ( Lycosidae ) and the fourth host spider from Mexico City, Mexico, as unidentified species ( Lycosidae ). Lycosidae is the predominant host family for species of Entypus Dahlbom ( Kurczewski et al. 2020, 2022a, 2022b).
