Polistes formosanus Sonan， 1927与P. japonicus de Saussure， 1858亲缘关系密切，已被视为P. japonicus的优良种、亚种或同义种。我们指定了台湾人的选型。对亚洲大陆、台湾、西南诸岛和日本本岛标本的形态特征进行了详细的分析，结果表明，台湾是不同于日本的优良种。线粒体基因的分子系统发育分析也支持这一结论。Polistes formosanus分布于台湾北部、中部和西南诸岛，并向北延伸至奄美诸岛；P. japonicus分布于亚洲大陆、台湾中部、朝鲜半岛、日本本州至九州和西南诸岛的大隅岛（Yaku-shima和Tanega-shima）。本文简要讨论了台湾沙棘的物种形成和生物地理。
Polistes formosanus Sonan, 1927 is closely related to P. japonicus de Saussure, 1858, and has been treated variously as a good species or subspecies or synonym of P. japonicus. We designate the lectotype of P. formosanus. Detailed examination of morphological characters of specimens from continental Asia, Taiwan, the Nansei Islands and main islands of Japan showed that P. formosanus is a good species different from P. japonicus. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using mitochondrial genes also supported this conclusion. Polistes formosanus is distributed in northern, and central Taiwan and in the Nansei Islands and extends northward to the Amami Islands, while P. japonicus occurs in continental Asia, central Taiwan, Korean Peninsula, Honshu to Kyushu of Japan and the Osumi Islands (Yaku-shima and Tanega-shima Island) of the Nansei Islands. The speciation and biogeography of P. formosanus are briefly discussed.
