BRAZIL: São Paulo State, São Paulo; 31 May 2009 ; Violinha. Host: Unidentified species ( Salticidae ), adult or subadult female. The wasp straddled the immobilized jumping spider venter to venter and grasped its spinnerets with her mandibles. The spider’s legs were still intact ( Violinha 2009).

MEXICO: Sinaloa State, Mazatlán; 27 September 2020, 1505 HST; F. Farriols Sarabia. Host: Balmaceda ? minor (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge) ( Salticidae ), adult or penultimate male, with all legs cut off at coxa-trochanter joints. A series of photographs show the wasp examining a leg amputation, resting with the immobilized, delimbed jumping spider underneath, and transporting the spider forward.
