Auplopus View in CoL View at ENA unidentified sp. (Erratum from Kurczewski et al. 2022b)
PERU: Cusco Department, Manu National Park, Coche Cashu Biological Station ; 25 October 2021; P. Bertner. Host: Unidentified species ( Salticidae ), adult or subadult species. The wasp straddled the immobilized jumping spider, ventral side upward, and grasped its spinnerets with her mandibles. She amputated all but the prey’s hindlegs at the coxa-trochanter joints to facilitate forward transport ( Bertner 2021).
This species was erroneously identified as Poecilopompilus mixtus (Fabricius) in Kurczewski et al. (2022b).
