Sarcophaga (Mehria) hinei Aldrich

From egg sacs of Larinioides cornutus (Clerck) ,

L. sclopetarius (Clerck) , and Philodromus cespitum (Walckenaer) .

Recorded by Auten (1925: 244) as preying on eggs of Aranea frondosa Comstock [as Walckenaer, error] [= Araneus cornutus Clerck = L. cornutus (Clerck) ], Epeira sclopetaria (Clerck) [= Araneus sclopetarius = L. sclopetarius ], and Philodromus canadensis Emerton [= Aranea cespitum Walckenaer = P. cespitum (Walckenaer) ]) in Put-In-Bay region, Ottawa County, Ohio, United States of America.

Remarks: Gillung and Borkent (2017) listed these records for S. (M.) sexpunctata (Fabricius) as a senior synonym of S. (M.) hinei , following the classification in Systema Dipterorum ( Evenhuis and Pape 2022). However, this synonymy has never been published and both nominal species are considered as valid in Pape (1996). They also included P. aureolus (Clerck) as prey of S. (M.) hinei as a record made by Auten (1925), but there is no record of this spider species in the original article.
