Genus Climaciella Enderlein View in CoL View at ENA
This is an exclusively New World genus found from southern Canada south to northern Argentina and in the Greater Antilles. Hoffman (1992) recognized 9 species, only one of which is known from the Greater Antilles including Hispaniola. All the species are wasp like in appearance and are apparently involved in a mimicry complex with various polistine wasp species. The immature stages of Climaciella brunnea (Say) have been associated with four species of wolf spiders ( Lycosidae ), and the first instar larvae are obligate spider boarders ( Redborg and MacLeod 1983).
