BRAZIL: Goiás State, Goiânia; 23 April 2009; E. Neri. Host: Misumenops sp. (Thomisidae) , adult or subadult female. Three photographs show the wasp (1) atop the immobilized crab spider, venter to venter, as it hung in midair by a silken thread from a spinneret; the wasp grasped the base of the spider’s chelicera with her mandibles; (2) atop the spider grasping the base of its second right leg as the prey laid on its left side on a leaf near ground level; and (3) maintaining the same grasp on the ground atop the spider in a ventral side upward position ( Neri 2009).

BRAZIL: São Paulo State, Jacareí; 20 April 2011; T. Nascimento de Melo. Host: Misumena sp. (Thomisidae) , adult or subadult female. The wasp stood above and beside the paralyzed crab spider as it laid on grass, dorsal side upward ( Fig. 2 View Figures 1–8 ; Nascimento de Melo 2011). This host record was listed under Poecilopompilus sp. in Kurczewski et al. (2020b).
