Abstract- Cladistic analyses of data from allozyme polymorphisms in paper wasp social parasites and their hosts do not support the hypothesis that social parasites are most closely related to their hosts. Electrophoretic data are adduced for nine species of Polistes, including all three known species of social parasites (Sulcopolistes) and their hosts. Three different coding methods are investigated; in no case do the social parasites cluster most closely with their hosts. Rather, there is limited evidence that they form a monophyletic group. However, formal taxonomic recognition of Sulcopolistes is not justified, as it renders Polistes sensu stricto paraphyletic. Although the social parasites are not most closely related to their hosts, hosts and parasites belong in the same subgenus and share many characteristics that may have facilitated the exploitation and deception practised by the parasites on the hosts.
摘要——对胡蜂社会性寄生者及其宿主的等位酶多态性数据进行的支序分析并不支持社会性寄生者与其宿主关系最为密切这一假说。文中列举了九种长腹胡蜂的电泳数据,其中包括所有三种已知的社会性寄生者(沟长腹胡蜂属)及其宿主。研究了三种不同的编码方法;在任何情况下,社会性寄生者都不会与其宿主最为紧密地聚类。相反,仅有有限的证据表明它们形成一个单系类群。然而,对沟长腹胡蜂属进行正式的分类学认可并不合理,因为这会使狭义长腹胡蜂属成为并系群。尽管社会性寄生者与其宿主并非关系最为密切,但宿主和寄生者属于同一亚属,且共享许多可能有助于寄生者对宿主进行利用和欺骗的特征。
