ARGENTINA: Misiones Province, Ruiz de Montoya; 12 December 2018; B. Fengler. Host: Vitalius paranaensis Bertani ( Theraphosidae ), subadult female. The wasp struggled to pull the paralyzed tarantula backwards on the ground, dorsal side upward, grasping the base of its left pedipalp with her mandibles ( Fengler 2018).

Vitalius paranaensis ( Theraphosidae ) is a new host genus and species for Pepsis inclyta . The only previous host record for P. inclyta is Acanthoscurria? musculosa Simon ( Theraphosidae ) ( Kurczewski et al. 2020).
