We present the second record of Polistes associus (Kohl, 1898) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) from Slovakia after 66 years and discuss the distribution of this species in Europe. Morphological features of the species are compared with those of other morphologically similar congeners occurring in Central Europe, Polistes bischoffi Weyrauch, 1937 and Polistes nimpha (Christ, 1791), and the differential diagnoses are supplemented with figures.
