Extract

In the course of collecting several nests of Polistes fuscatus Fabricius and P. fuscatus var. pallipes Lepeletier (Hymenoptera, Vespidae), six were found to be highly parasitised by Polistiphaga arvalis Cresson. The female Polistiphaga normally deposits from two to six eggs either on the Polistes larva or in the cell with the larva (oviposition has not heen observed).
