  • Checklist of the Spider Wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) of British Columbia
    Checklist of the Spider Wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) of British Columbia Scott Russell Spencer Entomological Collection Beaty Biodiversity Museum, UBC Vancouver, B.C. The family Pompilidae is a cosmopolitan group of some 5000 species of wasps which prey almost exclusively on spiders, giving rise to their common name - the spider wasps. While morphologically monotonous (Evans 1951b), these species range in size from a few millimetres long to among the largest of all hymenopterans; genus Pepsis, the tarantula hawks may reach up to 64 mm long in some tropical species (Vardy 2000). B.C.'s largest pompilid, Calopompilus pyrrhomelas, reaches a more modest body length of 19 mm among specimens held in our collection. In North America, pompilids are known primarily from hot, arid areas, although some species are known from the Yukon Territories and at least one species can overwinter above the snowline in the Colorado mountains (Evans 1997). In most species, the females hunt, attack, and paralyse spiders before laying one egg on (or more rarely, inside) the spider. Prey preferences in Pompilidae are generally based on size, but some groups are known to specialize, such as genus Ageniella on jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) and Tachypompilus on wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae) (Evans 1953). The paralysed host is then deposited in a burrow, which may have been appropriated from the spider, but is typically prepared before hunting from existing structures such as natural crevices, beetle tunnels, or cells belonging to other solitary wasps. While most pompilids follow this general pattern of behaviour, in the Nearctic region wasps of the genus Evagetes and the subfamily Ceropalinae exhibit cleptoparasitism (Evans 1953).

Some of these occur principally at higher altitudes or in the northern part of the state; this group includes 5 species of Holarctic distribution. Others (such as the tarantula hawks, Pepsis) are prevalent across the southern third of the state and range south into New Mexico and often into Mexico. Still others are widely distributed wherever there is friable soil suitable for nesting. Certain genera are more or less restricted to preying upon certain spider taxa, while others are generalists and a few are cleptoparasites ofother Pompilidae.

Barrows Males of Evagetes subangulatus patrolled primarily among shrubs in an area where females dug in soil. Twenty-nine individually-marked males were seen from 0 to 16 days after marking. They shared a home range space of about 400 m3. Although they did not exhibit territoriality, they chased and pounced upon one another and upon unmarked, conspecific males and females. Evagetes subangulatus (Banks) is a medium-sized, totally black spider wasp that occurs across North American in the Hudsonian and Transition Zones (Muesebeck et al., 1951). Behavior of this wasp has not been reported. Moreover, knowledge of male hymenopteran mate-location behavior is meager, especially with regard to Pompilidae (Alcock et al., in press); therefore, I attempted to investigate mate-location behavior and, in particular, space partitioning in male E.

[email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The biodiversity of spider wasps in Psorthapsis occurring in Colombia was examined in this study. Three species of this genus were found in northern and western Colombia, of which two represent new distributional records: Psorthaspis variegata and Psorthaspis connexa are recorded from Chocó and Magdalena, respectively. A neotype is established for Psorthapsis colombiae. The morphological variation, coupled with geographic distribution, precludes the division of P. variegata and P. connexa into subspecies. A discussion on the status of these subspecies is provided. A key to the members of the genus in Colombia also is presented. Key words. Aporini, Colombia, Hymenoptera, Pompilidae, Psorthaspis.

Se establece un neotipo para Psorthaspis colombiae. La variación morfológica y la distribución de P. variegata y P. connexa hacen necesario evitar el uso de unidades subespecífi cas. Se ofrece una discusión del estado de estas subespecies. Se presenta una clave para los miembros de Psorthaspis en Colombia. Palabras clave.

I~ lt -~ THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 145 I CLASSIF[CATION OF THE FOSSORIAL, PREDACEOUS AND PARAS[TIC WASPS, OR THE SUPERFAMILY VESPOIDEA BY WILLIAM H. ASHMEAD, ASSISTANT CURATOR, DIV ISION OF INSECTS, U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM. (Paper No. 1.) In the CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, during the year 1898, I gave a series of papers on the c lassification of the horntails and sawflies, representing the superfamilies SIRIC0TDEt. (Xylophaga) and TENTHREDIN- 0IDEA (Phyllophaga); while the past year, 1899, I gave a classification of ,) the entomophilous wasps, or the superfamily SPIIECOIDEA (incorrectly spelt Sphegoidca). The present year, 1900, with the permission of the Editor, it is my intention to give a similar series of papers on the classification of the superfamily YESPOIDEA, a large natural group, representing the genuine fossorial wasps, the papermaking wasps, potter wasps, and the predaceous, inquilinous and parasitic wasps. The wasps belonging to this superfamily are apparently closely allied to the wasps i11 the su1,erfamily Sphecoidea, a nd have been quite recently classified with them ; but they differ too widely, in various ways, to be included in the same family.
