COLOMBIA: Bolívar Department, Santa Rosa; 7 March 2020, 1436 EST; J. Steamer. Host: Phoneutria boliviensis (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge) (Ctenidae), adult or subadult female. The wasp grasped the immobilized armed spider by the base of its left chelicera, dorsal side upward, and, dragging it, walked backwards on the ground (Fig. 4; Steamer 2020).

ECUADOR: Pichincha Province, Quito; 31 January 2021, 1937; M. E. Guerrero Salazar: Host: Lycosa sp. (Lycosidae), adult female. The wasp grasped the immobilized wolf spider by the bases of its chelicerae with her mandibles, maintained it dorsal side upward, and walked backwards across a hard-packed gravel path or road (Guerrero Salazar 2021).
