Tachypompilus unicolor cerinus Evans View in CoL

COLOMBIA: Nariño Department, Samaniego ; 23 September 2023. 11:22 PM ?; N. Jimenez. Host: Unidentified Sparassidae [det. G. B. Edwards], adult or subadult female. The wasp grasped the immobilized huntsman spider by the end of its left pedipalp with her mandibles, and maintaining it dorsal side upward, pulled it up a stucco wall ( Jimenez 2023).

Sparassidae View in CoL is a rarely captured host family for Tachypompilus unicolor cerinus View in CoL ( Kurczewski et al. 2020, 2022b).

MEXICO, Jalisco State, Tolimán; 5 August 2023, 1343 CDT; A. Bastian. Host: Loxosceles? colima Gertsch ( Sicariidae ), adult male. The wasp grasped the immobilized recluse spider by its right fore trochanter with her mandibles and pulled it backwards up a vertical stucco wall ( Bastian 2023).

Loxosceles? colima View in CoL ( Sicariidae View in CoL ) is a new host family, genus, and species for the spider wasp genus Tachypompilus View in CoL ( Kurczewski et al. 2020, 2022b). Furthermore, Sicariidae View in CoL is a first-time host spider family for the family Pompilidae View in CoL .
