Abstract

We report the first record of egg sac predation on the wall crab spider Selenops cocheleti by wasps of the genus Camera (Ichneumonidae: Cryptinae) with the description of a new species, as well as biological information on the wasp and the spider host. The rearing record and information presented herein are the first biological data for the genus.
