SUMMARY:

Polistinae comprehends a subfamily of social wasps belonging to the family Vespidae, which plays an essential role in the maintenance of trophic groups, as predators, associated to pollination of some plant species and as food source for many groups. These wasps have a cosmopolitan distribution, mostly neotropical and present in all biomes of Brazil. The Atlantic Rainforest is home for about 170 species and is considered a florestal refuge for the social wasps. However, the diversity and distribution data of Polistinae to the biome are still underestimated. Therefore, this study aimed to inventory the social wasp fauna in remaining fragments of Northeastern Atlantic Forest, in the state of Pernambuco, and compare it with the fauna of social wasps recorded in areas of Atlantic Rainforest from other country regions. Increase the information about diversity and distribution of Polistinae is essential to propose conservation strategies and allow monitoring studies of anthropogenic impacts in Northeastern Atlantic Forest.
