We report the presence of the social wasp Polistes dominulus (Christ) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in El Bolsón (Rko Negro). This is the first record of the species in Argentina. All specimens were found in a garden within an urban area. The species is of Paleartic origin, but has been established in Chile for at least 20 years.

Keywords : Polistes dominulus; Patagonia; Invasions.
