Abstract

The nesting behaviour of Hoplisoides vespoides (Smith, 1873) is described based on observations carried out in southeastern Brazil. Notes on mimetic relationships of this species with vespid wasps and with a stratomyid fly are also provided. Umbonia spinosa (Fabricius, 1775) (Hemiptera: Membracidae) is reported as prey.
