摘要：

This study aimed to analyze the social wasps species diversity in a cerrado vegetation at the west region of the State of Bahia. Nineteen species of social wasps were found, with Chartergus globiventris de Saussure, Chartergellus communis Richards and Metapolybia cingulata (Fabricius) being recorded for the first time for the State of Bahia. The arboreous cerrado showed a higher species richness (S = 19) and diversity (H' = 2,33) than the agroecossistems (farms) (S = 8; H' = 1,84). However, nest abundance was higher at the agroecossystems (N = 107 nests) than at the arboreous cerrado (N = 87 nests). The physiognomy of "cerrado campo sujo" showed the lowest abundance of social wasps colonies (N = 61 nests) and intermediate values of species richness (S = 13) and diversity (H' = 2,20).
