Abstract

Two male and one female specimens of Ropalidia marginata collected on Iwo-jima, the Volcano Islands in the Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands were examined. This is the first record of social wasp from the Volcano Islands. The specimens well agrees with the original description of R. marginata sundaica VECHT which has been known to range from the Mariana Islands in the north to most parts of Indonesia and Malay Peninsula in the south. It is not certain whether this form is native to Iwo-jima or has been introduced through human activities.
