N2 - Zodariellum asiaticum (Tyschchenko 1970) is an ant-eating spider from Central Asia. Using five syntopically occurring ant species, namely Cataglyphis aenescens, Formica cunicularia (both Formicinae), Messor aralocaspius, Tetramorium caespitum (both Myrmicinae), and Tapinoma erraticum (Dolichoderinae) in a laboratory study of prey-capture behavior, I evaluated capture frequency, attack latency, number of attacks, and paralysis latency. Although spiders captured all five ant species, capture efficiency varied when spiders were tested with the different ant species, being highest when the spiders were tested with F. cunicularia.
