Ubillas. Host: Unidentified genus and species ( Theraphosidae , Ischnocolinae), adult or subadult female. The wasp walked backwards on the ground with the tarantula , grasping the base of the spider’s right foreleg with her mandibles ( Ubillas 2022 ). Theraphosidae and Ischnocolinae are a surprisingly new host family and subfamily for Tachypompilus pallidus and the second record of the use of a mygalomorph spider for this spider wasp genus ( Kurczewski et al. 2022b ).
