Phongsaly, 1500 m, Laos (Oberösterreich Landesmuseum, Linz, Austria).</p> <p>Remarks. Polistes affinis was described by Gusenleitner (2006) based on a single female specimen (holotype) from Phongsaly env., Phongsaly province (Laos), and three females (paratypes) of the same data as the holotype, which are housed in Oberösterreich Landesmuseum, Linz, Austria. Later, this species was recorded from the northwestern part of Vietnam (Nguyen et al., 2011), and no further information on this species has been added since then. The male and a nest of this species are described here for the first time.</p> <p>One nest (Nest#TD-2012-P-01) collected at Tam Dao National Park was examined. As described below, the male is similar to the female both in structure and coloration except for some characters.</p> <p>Material examined. 17 females, 13 males (IEBR), Tam Dao NP, Vinh Phuc, alt. 900–1200 m, Nest#TD-2012-P-01, 30.vii-3.viii.2012, T.

This species was recorded from Vinh Phuc, Hai Phong, Hoa Binh and Ninh Binh (Nguyen at al., 2011). In this study, this species is also recorded from Cao Bang, the northernmost province of Vietnam, together with its nest.</p> <p>Material examined. 19 females, 25 males, Phia Oac, Pha Den, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=105.86661&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=22.585472" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 105.86661/lat 22.585472)">Nguyen Binh</a>, Cao Bang, 22°35′07.7″N 105°51′59.8″E, alt. 900–1100m, Nest#VN-CB-2014-P-01, 25–28.v.2014, T. V. Hoang.</p> <p>Nest. A nest (Nest#VN-CB-2014-P-01) (Fig. 18) collected in Phia Oac NP, Cao Bang was examined.</p> <p>The nest was at the fully-developed stage and had a comb comprised of mainly long cells, collected together with 19 females and 15 males. Ten males emerged later when the nest was brought back to the laboratory and was being kept in a nylon bag. The nest was found under the broad leaf of a tree about 3 m above the ground. The nest characteristics are as follows: Petiole single, terminal, with thick central core of plant fibres, enlarged strictly with adult salivary secretion, black and lustrous, 4.2 mm long, 2.2 × 6.8 mm thick; salivary coating extended onto substrate and largely onto back of comb. Comb tough, pliable in texture, brown, subcircular (about 52 mm × 50 mm) in view from side of cell opening; ventral surface convex; dorsal surface deeply concave. Nest cells generally arranged regularly and round at open end, but partly irregularly arranged, where some cells are pentagonal; cell expanded towards open end, 3.4 mm (range 2.5–4.6 mm; n=10) wide at bottom and 5.6 mm (range 5.1–6.3 mm; n=10) wide at open end, 14.5 mm (range 13.0–16.2) mm; n=10) deep; cell wall about 0.02 mm thick. Cocoon caps slightly domed beyond rim of cell, yellow.</p> <p>Distribution. China; Japan; Vietnam (Nguyen et al., 2011, present study).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E58785FF9EFFD569CDFB4BCABFC892	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
