BRAZIL: Mato Grosso State, Novo Mundo, Cristalino Lodge; 30 November 2020; S. Dantas. Host: Ctenus sp. , immature [det. R. Bertani]. The wasp examined the immobilized wandering spider with her antennae and mouthparts as it was positioned both dorsal and ventral side upward. She then dragged the spider backwards, dorsal side upward, across the substrate, grasping the patella of its second left leg with her mandibles ( Dantas 2020a). Previous host records for this species are from Ecuador and Peru in Kurczewski et al. (2020b).
