Confirmation of the valid specific status of Dolichovespula kuami Kim & Yoon, 1996 (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) based on molecular and morphological evidence by Chang-Jun Kim, Jiang-Li Tan, Jeong Kyu Kim, Moon Bo Choi

“…Herein, the valid specific status of the former was supported through an integrated analysis of morphological characters and DNA barcodes. The pronotal rugae and male genitalia of the two species are different, and partial mitochondrial genes (cytochrome oxidase subunit I, COI) indicate that they form significantly distinct lineages. …”
