FRENCH GUIANA: Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, Saül; 20 November 2022; G. Léotard. Host: Theraphosa blondi (Latreille) ( Theraphosidae ) (Goliath birdeater), subadult female. The wasp dragged the paralyzed tarantula backwards across forest floor leaf litter, dorsal side upward, grasping the underside base of its second right leg ( Léotard 2022).

This is the second Pepsis heros host record for Theraphosa blondi from French Guiana ( Kurczewski et al. 2020).
