Wandering spiders (genus Phoneutria) hold a prominent position as some of the worlds most medically significant venomous arachnids, especially in Brazil. In this study, we record and illustrate for the first time, the Darwin wasp Camera thoracica (Szpligeti, 1916) as a natural enemy of the ctenid Phoneutria nigriventer (Keyserling, 1891). Furthermore, we provide a description of the previously unknown male wasp, update and standardize the description of the female, and provide biological notes.
游走蛛(Phoneutria 属)是世界上最重要的医学意义上的有毒蜘蛛之一,尤其是在巴西。在这项研究中,我们首次记录并图示了达尔文胡蜂 Camera thoracica(Szpligeti,1916)是刺蛛科 Phoneutria nigriventer(Keyserling,1891)的一种天敌。此外,我们还描述了以前未知的雄性胡蜂,更新并标准化了雌性胡蜂的描述,并提供了生物学注释。
