Remarks on distribution
Polistes dawnae, one of the two species characterized by a basally strongly swollen second metasomal sternum and recorded in northeastern Vietnam (the other is Polistes mandarinus), was originally described from Dawna Hills [16°50'N, 98°15'E], northern Myanmar, and has been recently recorded in northeastern part of Laos (Gusenleitner 2013[1]) and northern Vietnam, such as in the provinces of Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Hoa Binh (Nguyen et al. 2011[2]), Bac Kan and Son La (present study). This species may be restricted in its distribution to the areas on the eastern slope of the Himalaya.
