Polistes (Aphanilopterus) ferreri de Saussure
Paramere ( Fig. 12A View FIGURE 12 ): (1) about three times longer than wide at the middle; (2) lateral groove shallow; (3) parameral spine long (1/6 the total length of paramere), pointed apically with long and dense bristles; (4) paramere lobe widely developed and rounded; (5) inferior portion of paramere narrow, about half the width at the middle portion. Aedeagus ( Fig. 12B, C View FIGURE 12 ): slender; (1) apical portion with fine and serrated denticulation, extended from the apex of the apical portion to the median expansion, lateral margin straight; (2) penis valve weakly dilated and with a slight central entrance (about 1/4 of the total length of apical portion); (3) median expansion developed and rounded apex; (4) lateral apodeme directed forward and shorter than the ventral process, (5) ventral process rounded and slightly dilated in apex; (6) inferior portion of aedeagus curved, in lateral view. Digitus ( Fig. 12D View FIGURE 12 ): slender; (1) apical process developed, about 1.5 times longer than the digitus base, slightly dilated in apex, (2) apex rounded; (3) anteroventral lobe short and rounded apically; (4) punctation strong, forming a central band around the base of the digitus; (5) evanescent bristles. Cuspis ( Fig. 12E View FIGURE 12 ): slender; (1) apex pointed and tapering abruptly to the end; (2) long and sparse bristles, mainly on lateral margin on cuspis; (3) punctation restricted on the lateral lobe; (4) lower part weakly developed.
Remarks. In Richards (1978: 482) the male adult was described, but he did not mention the male genitalia.
