A taxonomic study on the paper wasp genus Polistes Latreille, 1802 from the Philippine Islands is presented. Three new species of the subgenus Polistella Ashmead, 1904 are described: P. (P.) esperanzae sp. nov., P. (P.) flavitarsis sp. nov., and P. (P.) tenuipunctatus sp. nov.. Polistes (Gyrostoma) tenebricosus nigrosericans Bequaert, 1940 is raised to species rank (P. (G.) nigrosericans stat. nov.). The Philippine subspecies of P. (P.) stigma (Fabricius, 1793) are synonymized under the typical form (= P. stigma alagari Petersen, 1987 syn. nov., = P. stigma dubius de Saussure, 1867 syn. nov., = P. stigma manillensis de Saussure, 1854 syn. nov.), and P. (P.) philippinensis funebris Bequaert, 1940 is synonymized under P. (P.) philippinensis de Saussure, 1854. A key to species of the genus from the Philippine Islands and new distributional records are provided.
本文对来自菲律宾群岛的1802年拉特雷耶命名的马蜂属（Polistes Latreille）进行了分类学研究。描述了1904年阿什米德命名的Polistella亚属的三个新物种：esperanzae马蜂新种（P. (P.) esperanzae sp. nov.）、黄跗马蜂新种（P. (P.) flavitarsis sp. nov.）和细点马蜂新种（P. (P.) tenuipunctatus sp. nov.）。1940年贝夸尔特命名的暗黑马蜂（Polistes (Gyrostoma) tenebricosus nigrosericans）被提升为物种等级（暗黑马蜂（P. (G.) nigrosericans stat. nov.））。菲律宾的（P. (P.) stigma (Fabricius, 1793)）亚种被归为典型形态的同物异名（= 阿拉加里马蜂（P. stigma alagari Petersen, 1987 syn. nov.），= 可疑马蜂（P. stigma dubius de Saussure, 1867 syn. nov.），= 马尼拉马蜂（P. stigma manillensis de Saussure, 1854 syn. nov.）），并且1940年贝夸尔特命名的菲律宾马蜂暗亚种（P. (P.) philippinensis funebris Bequaert）被归为菲律宾马蜂（P. (P.) philippinensis de Saussure, 1854）的同物异名。提供了菲律宾群岛该属物种的检索表和新的分布记录。
