Abstract

Abstract The protein pattern analysis of the venoms of different Vespoidea species ( Dolichovespula, Vespa , and Polistes ) reveal strong similarities between both social wasp species of the genus Dolichovespula (arenaria and maculata ) and between the other social wasp species of Vespa ( mandarinia and tropica ). Species of Polistinae ( Polistes arizonensis, aurifer, canadensis and rothneyi grahami ) appear to have evolved early, but there are not enough characters to establish monophyly of subfamily Polistinae.
