Abstract
Mischocyttarus immarginatus often nests in association withPolybia occidentalis in the dry forest of Costa Rica. The establishment of twoM. immarginatus nests near a nest ofP. occidentalis was observed. There is competition for nesting sites by foundresses ofMischocyttarus, characterized by intense agonistic encounters. At established nests, the queens spend most of their time on the nests, constructing and inspecting nests and cells. Workers spend most of their time away from the nests. Sometimes, the queen forces a worker to leave the nest.
