Pepsis egregia Mocsáry View in CoL

PERU: Madre de Dios Region, Manú Province, Manú National Park, Manú Research Learning Research Center; 5 December 2019; J. Shorma. Host: Linothele fallax (Mello-Leitão) ( Dipluridae ) (curtain web spider), adult or subadult female. “Seen attempting to hunt a Linothele fallax . It found the web and ran inside the burrow. Shortly after, the spider ran out and went to safety.” (Shorma 2019).

Linothele fallax View in CoL would be a new host species for Pepsis egregia View in CoL and other species of Pepsis Fabricius. View in CoL Pepsis completa Smith View in CoL and P. montezuma Smith View in CoL reportedly hunt species of? Linothele Karsch View in CoL in Brazil and Peru, respectively ( Kurczewski et al. 2020). Pepsis petitii Guérin View in CoL hunts and captures Linothele?uniformis Droishagen and Bäckstam View in CoL in Peru ( Kurczewski et al. 2022b).
