TABLE 3. Morphometric parameters: males of Polistes hirsuticornis sp. nov., P. parametricus sp. nov. and similar species. Explanations: Avg—arithmetic mean, Range—observed minimum and maximum values (ranges marked by an asterisk include measurements that were not part of the sample used for the statistical analyses), SD—standard deviation, n —number of measured specimens, THSD—Tukey's HSD (pairwise comparisons): species with identical letters have mean values that are not statistically different (p > 0.05), F—F statistic for ANOVA within each morphometric parameter. For each ANOVA, p value was <0.001 except for CW/CL (p = 0.051; no statistically significant differences).
