Abstract
ABSTRACT: Two young nests of Dolichovespula arenaria were each found to have been invaded by a Vespula squamosa queen. The first nest was successfully usurped, while the usurpation process was ongoing in the second nest. This latter observation confirms that V. squamosa queens will invade well-established nests. Factors involved in the selection of D. arenaria as a new intergeneric host are briefly discussed.
期刊介绍：
Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
