Biological notes on the parasitism of apoica flavissima Van der Vecht (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) by Seminota marginata (Westwood) (Hymenoptera: Trigonalidae): Are social paper wasps primary or secundary hosts of trigonalidae?

This study provides observations on biological aspects of the parasitism of Apoica flavissima Van der Vecht by Seminota marginata (Westwood), and suggests that social wasps may be both primary and secondary hosts, whereas they extract and chew vegetable fiber.123-124engEpiponiniFacultative hostNeotropicalPolistinaeBiological notes on the parasitism of apoica flavissima Van der Vecht (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) by Seminota marginata (Westwood) (Hymenoptera: Trigonalidae): Are social paper wasps primary or secundary hosts of trigonalidae?Artigo10.13102/sociobiology.v60i1.123-124WOS:000327101800017Acesso aberto2-s2.0-848796223182-s2.0-84879622318.pdf0000-0003-0207-1067
