MONTANA: Missoula County, Missoula; 22 July 2021, 1305 MDT; S. Baran. Host: Hogna sp. (Lycosidae) , adult or subadult female. The wasp dragged the immobilized wolf spider backwards through dried grass, dorsal side upward, grasping its left chelicera with her mandibles ( Baran 2021). This host record is a significant northern range extension for E. aratus , the previous northernmost locality being Pocatello, Bannock County, ID ( Townes 1957).
