Abstract

There are many facts in the taxonomy and still more in the life-histories of the common American wasps (Vespa) which need a thorough revision. The following small contribution is made with the hope of interesting other entomologists in the subject. During the last summer, the .writer made a point of capturing all the specimens of wasps he met with on his collecting trips, but the result as a whole was very poor, 1916 apparently not being a wasp-year. However, amongst the catch were found two females which he was unable to refer to any of the species previously known from North America and it was found that they belonged to what is called in Europe Vespa austriaca Panzer.
