SELENOPIDAE Selenops spp.: Tachypompilus erubescens or Tachypompilus xanthopterus, Priochilus scrupulum., Published as part of Kurczewski, Frank E., West, Rick C., Waichert, Cecilia, Kissane, Kelly C., Ubick, Darrell & Pitts, James P., 2020, New and unusual host records for North American and South American spider wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), pp. 1-112 in Zootaxa 4891 (1) on page 111, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4891.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4309249

Hemipepsis sp. (unidentified) BOLIVIA: Santa Cruz Department, Chiquitos Province, Chiquitos; posted 7 January 2015; A. Coors (alex.coors). Host: Lycosa sp., adult or subadult female. The wasp pulled the paralyzed wolf spider backwards on a vertical surface, dorsal side upward, grasping its right foreleg with her mandibles (Coors 2015).

Calopompilus pyrrhomelas (Walker) CA: Trinity County, Klamath Mountains, Pacific Crest Trail; 8 July 2018; L. Mazur (nelruzam). Host: Antrodiaetus cf pacificus (Simon) (Antrodiaetidae) (Folding trapdoor spider), adult or subadult female. The wasp stood near the paralyzed spider as it laid on the ground, dorsal side upward, examining it with her antennae (Mazur 2018). CA: Trinity County, Klamath Mountains, Pacific Crest Trail; 8 July 2018; C. Collier (naturechris). Host: Antrodiaetus cf pacificus, adult or subadult female. The wasp straddled and stung the folding trapdoor spider, dorsal side upward, as it laid on the ground (Collier 2018). OR: Benton County, Corvallis, McDonald forest; 7 April 1966 or 1967; F. Coyle. Host: Antrodiaetus pugnax (Chamberlin), adult female. One folding trapdoor spider was collected and labeled in the study as the “prey of Dinocnemis (= Calopompilus)”, no further data (Coyle 1971)., Published as part of Kurczewski, Frank E., West, Rick C., Waichert, Cecilia, Kissane, Kelly C., Ubick, Darrell & Pitts, James P., 2020, New and unusual host records for North American and South American spider wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), pp. 1-112 in Zootaxa 4891 (1) on page 7, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4891.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4309249, {"references":["Mazur, L.
