AN ABERRANT FEMALE AND POSSIBLE NEW HOST RECORD FOR DASYMUTILLA OCCIDENTALIS (HYMENOPTERA: MUTILLIDAE)
Page Range: 367 – 367
A female Dasymutilla occidentalis occidentalis (Linnaeus) was collected which differed in color from typical females of this species. The female appeared to be freshly emerged, and was collected exiting a burrow of Sphex ichneumoneus ichneumoneus (Linnaeus). This would appear to be a new host record for this species.
