WASHINGTON: Yakima County, near Goose Prairie, Naches Peak Loop Trail; 22 August 2022; L. Ramseyer. Host: Pimoa curvata Chamberlin and Ivie ( Pimoidae ) [det. R. Crawford], adult female. The wasp dragged the immobilized pimoid spider backwards across bare ground, dorsal side upward, grasping a left leg with her mandibles ( Ramseyer 2022).

Pimoa curvata ( Pimoidae ) represents a new host family, genus, and species for Agenioideus (Agenioideus) humilis . Pimoidae is a first-time host spider family for the family Pompilidae . The recently reassigned host family Pimoidae Wunderlich is closely related to the family Linyphiidae Blackwall.
