Hi to all


This is a very special record I will share with you. In last month Emídio Machado was photographing salticid spiders in Castelo Branco and took one specimen to Ricardo
Silva, expert on spiders. Silva has realized that the Evarcha sp (juvenile Salticidae) was parasited by something. It pupated along
within two weeks and emerged from the pupa this Monday - 2009 September, 07. The spider that was parasited is precisely this individual:

My friend Silva sent to me the acrocerid. And a very special thing: the puparium where the acrocerid came out! It is a rare sight.

Immediately the genus was easy to recognize with the location of the antennae... Also due the wing venation and general form of the body - Ogcodes. Then I contacted the Christian Kehlmaier and Theo Zeegers. Both had some of mine ideas (I was hesitating between 3 species) and it is general consensus that this can be an Ogcodes cf. pallipes. But it is hard to know because the European Ogcodes is in a mess at the moment. It is necessary much more fresh specimens from all the Europe to make molecular studies so we can tell with more certainty which species it could be.

EDIT: Dr. Emilia told me that this can be a probable Ogcodes cf. obscuripes
