Abstract

Altough the paper wasp Polistes dominula is a well known host of Xenos vesparum in many European countries, in Hungary it was observed in 1993 at first occasion. The documentation of this observation – with illustration by photographs – is performed in present paper. 5 of the 30 examined wasps were stylopized, and these 5 exemplars were parasitized by 18 strepsipteran specimens. Some details of behaviour of the parasite and host insect are discussed also.
