Polistes (Fuscopolistes) poeyi Lepeletier
Paramere ( Fig. 37A View FIGURE 37 ): (1) about two and half times longer than wide at the middle; (2) lateral groove very shallow; almost straight; (3) parameral spine medium (about 1/7 the total length of paramere), pointed apically with long and dense bristles, mainly on spine base; (4) paramere lobe weakly developed and rounded; (5) inferior portion wide, about 0,8 the width at the middle portion. Aedeagus ( Fig. 37B, C View FIGURE 37 ): robust; (1) apical portion with intermediate denticulation, extended on the apical portion to the end of median expansion, lateral margin curved; (2) penis valve dilated and with a strong central entrance (about 1/3 of the total length of apical portion); (3) median expansion developed and pointed apex; (4) lateral apodeme directed forward and almost the same size as the ventral process, (5) ventral process very rounded and compressed in the base; (6) inferior portion of aedeagus weakly curved, almost straight in lateral view; (7) with about 28 very small, uniform, ventral teeth. Digitus ( Fig. 37D View FIGURE 37 ): robust; (1) apical process very reduced; (3) anteroventral lobe long and pointed apically; (4) punctation strong, over the entire digitus base; (5) short and sparse bristles, manly on lateral margin. Cuspis ( Fig. 37E View FIGURE 37 ): robust, triangular-shape; (1) apex weakly pointed and tapering gradually to the end; (2) short and sparse bristles on cuspis; (3) punctation restricted on the lateral lobe; (4) lower part weakly developed and more membranous aspect.
Remarks. Richards (1978: 455) did not describe the genitalia of this species. His only comments were about the aedeagus with about 28 very small teeth and digitus with distal process short, hairs sparse.
