Poecilopompilus familiaris (Smith) View in CoL
PARAGUAY: Guairá State, Independencia District, Salto Suizo; 12 March 2023, 1410 PM; A. Berger. Host: Misumenops sp. ( Thomisidae ), adult or subadult female. The wasp dragged the paralyzed crab spider backwards, dorsal side upward, grasping the base of its left foreleg with her mandibles. She kept her wings raised at more than a 45° angle to her body during transport ( Berger 2023).
Misumenops sp. ( Thomisidae View in CoL ) is the first host record and new family, genus, and species for P. familiaris View in CoL . Poecilopompilus familiaris View in CoL may be one of several Neotropical species of Poecilopompilus View in CoL that specialize in provisioning their nests with crab spiders ( Thomisidae View in CoL ) ( Kurczewski et al. 2020, 2022b).
