NICARAGUA: León State, León County; 9 July 2023, 1206 CST; A. Chalatz. Host: Micrathena funebris (Marx) ( Araneidae ), adult female. The wasp held the orb-weaving spider off the ground and ventral side upward, as it walked forward, grasping the base of its third left leg with her mandibles ( Chalatz 2023).
Nearctic species of Priocnemis , except the subgenus Priocnemissus Haupt , are highly polyphagous in host selection capturing small species of nearly every common spider family in North America, including Dysderidae , Linyphiidae , and Theridiidae ( Evans and Yoshimoto 1962; Krombein 1979; Kurczewski and Edwards 2012; Kurczewski and Kiernan 2015; Kurczewski et al. 2017, 2020, 2022b). Micrathena funebris ( Araneidae ) is the first North American host record of an orb-weaving spider for a species of Priocnemis .
