Polistes goeldii is a species of social paper wasp found in South America.
Description and identification
The body of P. goeldii is blue-black, with some sutures and articulations redish, 18-20mm in length. The wings are black with black-brown venation.
The nest is distinct and similar to that of the Australian species Ropalidia revolutionalis, with the comb being only two cells wide and able to become very long.
Distribution and habitat
The species has been recorded in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Peru. The limited amount of specimins and sightings suggest that while this species is widespread, it is rare.
Etymology
The species is named in honor of Émil Goeldi.
