Description
Polistes nimphus (Christ, 1791)
Females differ from other species by having the following colour features: mandibles black, genae with yellow markings, antennae darkened above, and the last sternum black, sometimes with small yellow apical spot. Clypeus usually with black transverse band. Males are recognisable by the parallel-sided clypeus with longitudinal ridges.
Relatively common species at lower altitudes.
