Ichneumonid wasps of the Polysphincta genus-group (Polysphinctini sensu Townes hereafter "polysphinctine wasps") are exclusively koinobiont ectoparasitoids of spiders (Fitton et al. 1987; Gauld 2006). Since the first report of a spider's behavior being manipulated by a polysphinctine wasp (Eberhard 2000), several studies have since focused on unravelling the mechanisms and evolution of this association (e.g. Gonzaga & Sobczak 2007; Matsumoto 2009; Sobczak et al. 2009; Eberhard 2010; Gonzaga & Sobczak 2011; Korenko & Pekár 2011; Korenko et al. 2013; Sobczak et al. 2014; Takasuka et al. 2015).
多刺蚁蜂属类群的姬蜂(以下简称“多刺蚁蜂科黄蜂”,即汤氏分类法中的多刺蚁蜂族)是蜘蛛独有的共寄生体外寄生蜂(菲顿等人,1987年;高尔德,2006年)。自从首次报道蜘蛛行为受到多刺蚁蜂科黄蜂操控(埃伯哈德,2000年)以来,此后有多项研究致力于揭示这种关联的机制和进化过程(例如,贡扎加和索布扎克,2007年;松本,2009年;索布扎克等人,2009年;埃伯哈德,2010年;贡扎加和索布扎克,2011年;科伦科和佩卡尔,2011年;科伦科等人,2013年;索布扎克等人,2014年;高须贺等人,2015年)。
