Pepsis completa Smith View in CoL
PERU: Madre de Dios Region, Tambopata Province ; 3 October 2023, 0741 AM ; G. Gallice. Host: Unidentified species of Dipluridae , adult or subadult female. The wasp grasped the immobilized curtain web spider, dorsal side upward, by the base of its second right leg with her mandibles and dragged it backwards across the soil ( Gallice 2023).
Although unidentified, Dipluridae from Peru probably represents a new host genus and species for Pepsis completa . Pepsis completa from Brazil and Venezuela is rather polyphagous in host selection with previous host records for Dipluridae , Pycnothelidae , Nemesiidae , Theraphosidae , and Ctenidae ( Kurczewski et al. 2020, 2022b).
