Priochilus sericeifrons (Fox) View in CoL

ECUADOR: El Oro Province, Piñas, Reserva Buenaventura, Umbrellabird Lodge ; 10 February 2023; J. Higgott. Host: Ctenus sp. , adult or subadult female. The wasp straddled the wandering spider, its body being perpendicular to that of the spider, as she stung it in its cephalothorax between the bases of its left foreleg and second leg. The spider stood on the ground, dorsal side upward, as it was being stung ( Higgott 2023).

Priochilus sericeifrons View in CoL has been observed with host spiders several times: Kiekie sp. ( Ctenidae View in CoL ) in Costa Rica;? Spinoctenus sp. ( Ctenidae View in CoL ) in Colombia; and unidentified ctenid in Brazil ( Kurczewski et al. 2020, 2022b). Ctenus sp. is a new host genus and species for P. sericeifrons View in CoL .
