Name
Dolichovespula alpicola Eck – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Dolichovespula alpicola “Wagner” Eck 1984[1]:40 (key), fig. 3L; 1987[2]:191. Lectotype female; USA: Wyoming (DRESDEN).
Distribution
This is a northern boreal species found in western North America from Alaska to Alberta, and extending as far south as Arizona and New Mexico along the Rocky Mountains (R. Jacobson personal communication).
Biology
Dolichovespula alpicola is generally found in mixed hardwood-conifer forests in mountainous regions. There is little information on the nesting biology in this species. Eck (1984)[1] attributed the species to Wagner in a key, thus validly publishing it. Eck (1987)[2] later published a fuller description and designated a lectotype.
