Abstract

From the direct observation of an adult isolated of Polistes (Onerarius) carnifex carnifex (Fabricius, 1775) on the nest, the presence of this predatory wasp subspecies in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo is confirmed. Through the taxonomic determination with keys and photographic record, the settlement of this species is shown at least since 2007. Some characteristics about the ecology in the region are discussed.
