Abstract
In this study, we present new records of Dolichovespula pacifica (Birula, 1930) in Northern European Russia. The range of D. pacifica in the studied region extends up to transitional zone between taiga and low-shrub tundra. The northernmost records of this species in Northern European Russia are located in the northern part of Murmansk Region and the south of Nenets Autonomous District. Among the island territories of Northern European Russia, D. pacifica has been recorded only in the Solovetsky Archipelago.
