Tribe AUPLOPODINI 



Members of this tribe usually amputate one or more of the spider's legs, presumably to 

 facilitate prey transport, although there are records of some wasps feeding on body fluids exud- 

 ing from the severed leg stumps. Phanagenia and Auplopus are mud-daubers, constructing mud 

 cells in sheltered situations. A few species of Ageniella have been recorded as nesting in the 

 ground, either in pre-existing crevices or in burrows which they dig themselves. The nesting 

 habits of Priocnemella are unknown, but the lack of a pygidial area in the female suggests that 

 it is not a mud-dauber.
