Dolichovespula adulterina (Buysson, 1904) View in CoL

Parasitic species of D. saxonica and D. norwegica ( ECK & DYLEWSKA 1998) . Queens are similar to D. omissa in having apically pointed anterior angles of clypeus, but D. adulterina has lower half of clypeus covered by sparse and fine punctures. Males can be separated from other Dolichovespula by the aedeagus which is laterally compressed, narrow, and pointed basally.

Rare, predominantly mountain species of parasitic wasp. Distribution and requirements are similar to the host species.
