ID from host species
Do you know if it would be possible to ID this to species using the host species? I don't know how host-specific Therion is

There Is A Key
The Dreisbach article referenced in the genus page provides a straightforward key. I applied it to my similar individual:


The arrived at result being Therion nigripes. The only other possibility for my specimen in the key was Therion tenuipes. The key itself is rather old, dating to when Therion nigripes was described. Sadly there is no mention of the life history of this species.
