Vespa bellicosa de Saussure, 1854: 146 View in CoL . Lectotype female (designated by van der Vecht, 1959: 216); ‘Java’ [error; Sumatra or Borneo] (TURIN).

Distribution. Indonesia: Sumatra, Borneo (Kalimantan, Sarawak).

Discussion. This species appears to be associated with lowland tropical forests in Borneo and Sumatra ( Archer 1999). It is unlikely that it would become invasive in other regions. It has very distinctive

black and yellow banding on the thorax and metasoma. It is not known where V. bellicosa build their nests.
