?A difficulty: ?it would be said that there is a double contracting with the petiole (Eumenidae), but without the claws difficult to say Eumenidae(bifides) or simple Vespidae Polistinae! ;)

In Japan there are some very similar but not conspecific Polistes species, for example P. snelleni. See my Japan Wildlife gallery.

"Wasps of the cosmopolitan genus
Polistes are the most familiar of the polistine wasps, and are the most common type of paper wasp. It is also the single largest genus within the family Vespidae, with over 300 recognized species and subspecies." Wikipedia
