Paracyphononyx funereus
Paracyphononyx funereus is a species of spider wasp in the family Pompilidae, first described by Lepeletier in 1845. It belongs to a genus known for koinobiont ectoparasitoid behavior, where females lay eggs on paralyzed spiders that remain mobile until the larva reaches its final developmental stage. The species is part of a group of spider wasps that exhibit diverse host manipulation strategies. Specific biological details for P. funereus remain poorly documented in available literature.
