Dolichovespula omissa (Bischoff, 1931) View in CoL
Parasitic species of D. sylvestris . Queens are similar to D. adulterina in having apically pointed anterior angles of clypeus, but D. omissa has lower half of clypeus with dense and coarse punctures. Special colour characteristic of queens are yellow bands on sterna 1-5 which are interrupted by black in middle. Males of both species are also similar but D. omissa has widened aedeagus while D. adulterina has narrow aedeagus.
Rare parasitic species. Its requirements and distribution are similar to the host species. More common at higher altitudes.
