Pepsis basifusca Lucas (Errata from Kurczewski et al. 2020)

All host records listed under Pepsis basifusca in Kurczewski et al. (2020) represent wasp misidentification. The four wasps are Entypus sp. , either E. aratus (Townes) , E. austrinus (Banks) , or E. texanus (Cresson) . Three of the host spiders were identified as Hogna carolinensis species-group ( Lycosidae ) and the fourth host spider from Mexico City, Mexico, as unidentified species ( Lycosidae ). Lycosidae is the predominant host family for species of Entypus Dahlbom ( Kurczewski et al. 2020, 2022a, 2022b).
