Episyron biguttatus californicus (Banks) View in CoL
ARIZONA: Pima County, Madera Canyon; 6 September 2017; J. H. Cowles. Host: Neoscona arabesca (Walckenaer) ( Araneidae ), adult female. The wasp examined the immobilized arabesque orbweaver with her antennae as it laid, dorsal side upward, on the substrate ( Cowles 2019).
The nominate subspecies, Episyron b. biguttatus , has been host-associated with species of Neoscona several times ( Evans and Yoshimoto 1962; Krombein 1979; Kurczewski and Edwards 2012; Kurczewski et al. 2017). Neoscona arabesca is a new host species for Episyon biguttatus californicus, although N. oaxacensis (Keyserling) is a previous congeneric host record from California ( Kurczewski et al. 2017).
