Wikipedia Abstract

The Swiss entomologist Henri Louis Frédéric de Saussure described P. raphigastra in 1854. At the time, it was identified by the synonym Polybia sumatrensis de Saussure. P. raphigastra is one of six known species that comprise the genus Polybioides. Four of these species live in South East Asia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, and the other two are located in equatorial Africa. Polybioides were recently included in the tribe Ropalidiini, which, along with Polistini, Epiponini, and Mischocyttarini, make up the subfamily Polistinae.
