 rufopectus (Cresson). Maine s. to Fla., w. to Iowa and Tex. Host: Argiope aurantia (Lucas), A. 

 trifasciata (Forsk.), Epeira sp. Townes (1960) treated rufopectus as a subspecies of 

 ovivora, but the geographical range of ovivora extends throughout most of that of 

 rufopectus. Morphological and biological differences discussed by Townes also indicate 

 that these two taxa should be treated as separate species.
