Resumen:
Vespula germanica is an invasive worldwide species that has beendetected in continental Patagonia of Argentina and Chile. In this work, we extendthe range of this invasive wasp in Patagonia to include the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago.We indicate the location, year and habitat of each sighting and/or collection.The expansion pattern of this species indicates that it is well established in naturaland anthropogenic areas and that it has most probably depended on human transportto arrive from the continent. This short communication also provides informationto take practical measures for its mitigation and control, including basic informationfor the citizens of the island to become aware of its presence and help it not arriveto new areas. Finally, more research is recommended for management and controlof this new invasive species in Tierra del Fuego.
