The revision is based on a cladistic analysis of morphological, behavioral, and molecular characters of the nine nominal species. The subgenera Deuterapoica and Apoica are consistent with the phylogenetic results, and are thus retained. A new species, Apoica ellenae, whose phylogenetic position is uncertain, is described. A variant of A. albimacula from Peru is noted. This brings the total number of species in the genus to 10.8225746 bytesapplication/pdfen-USQL1 .A436 no.3562 2007ApoicaApoica -- Phylogeny.Apoica ellenaeApoica albimaculaPaper wasps -- Latin AmericaPaper wasps -- Latin America -- Phylogeny.Insects -- Latin AmericaInsects -- Latin America -- Phylogeny.text
