The Polistinae subfamily (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) is a common group of the Neotropical fauna, characterized mostly by their social behavior. In the Manu Learning Center, within the Manu Biosphere Reserve, these organisms have been collected using malaise traps, pitfall traps, and yellow pan traps from May to December 2021. We found seventeen species of the Polistinae subfamily, fourteen of which are firstly recorded for the Madre de Dios state in Peru. The best represented genus is Polybia Lepeletier, 1836, with 7 species.
