Polistes (Aphanilopterus) consobrinus de Saussure

Paramere (Fig. 10A): (1) about three times longer than wide at the middle; (2) lateral groove shallow, more pronounced on the upper part; (3) parameral spine long (about 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 2/3 the width at the middle portion. Aedeagus (Fig. 10B, C): slender; (1) apical portion with fine denticulation, extended only on the apical portion, lateral margin straight; (2) penis valve widely dilated and with a slight central entrance (about 1/3 of the total length of apical portion); (3) median expansion widely developed, rounded apex; (4) lateral apodeme directed forward and shorter than the ventral process, (5) ventral process rounded and widely dilated in apex; (6) inferior portion of aedeagus curved, in lateral view. Digitus (Fig. 10D): slender; (1) apical process developed, about twice longer than the digitus base, (2) apex rounded, apical process strongly curved for the side; (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. 10E): slender; (1) apex pointed and tapering abruptly to the end; (2) long and dense bristles on cuspis; (3) punctation restricted on the lateral lobe; (4) lower part weakly developed with short bristles.

Remarks. Richards (1978: 503) mentioned the expanded tip of the aedeagus and angular process on the cuspis.
