摘要：

In summer, males of Polistes dominulus defend adjacent territories at landmarks. Patrol flights are interrupted by stops at selected perches and conspicuous dragging movements of the last sternites and all the legs over the substrate, especially at a high intruder density. Leg rubbing is regularly associated with prolonged grooming sessions. Single secretory cells, resembling the sternal glands formerly described in this species (class 3 ducted glands), were found in all the legs (in the femur, the tibia, and especially the tarsus) and in both sexes. Leg tegumental gland cells, like sternal glands, are probably a source of pheromones. They have not previously been described in polistine wasps.
