Description

Poecilopompilus costatus oenochrous (Schultz)

ARGENTINA: Buenos Aires Province, Magdalena; 4 December 2022, 3:06 PM; M. Arregui. Host: Araneus lathyrinus (Holmberg) (Araneidae), adult or subadult female. The wasp stood on a leaf above ground level grasping the immobilized orb-weaver by the base of its left foreleg with her mandibles, retaining it in a perpendicular position (Fig. 14; Arregui 2023).

This is the first host record for Poecilopompilus costatus oenochrous, Araneus lathyrinus, which is the typical host spider family for most species in this genus (Kurczewski et al. 2020, 2022b).

ARGENTINA: Santa Fe Province, Nueve de Julio County; 3 March 2023, 1703 PM; I. M. Churruarin. Host: Ocrepeira venustula (Keyserling) (Araneidae), adult female. The wasp, clinging upside down to an upright narrow stem, held the orb-weaver cephalothorax upward, grasping the base of its left foreleg with her mandibles (Churruarin 2023).

Ocrepeira venustula (Keyserling) (Araneidae) is a new host genus and species for Poecilopompilus costatus oenochrous. This is the second host record for P. costatus oenochrous.
