Nest structures and colony populations of eleven species of Ropalidia from New Guinea are described. The species examined are Ropalidia loriana, R. cristata, R. gregaria spilocephala, R. marginata jucunda, R. kurandae, R. bensoni, R. leopoldi, R. maculiventris, R. erratica, Ropalidia sp. near R. bispinosa, and R. bambusae. Ropalidia loriana and R. gregaria make a nest suspended vertically by a single petiole, while remaining species make rectinidal nests with subsidiary petioles. Ropalidia bensoni and R. leopoldi make envelopes, using different techniques. The envelope of R. bensoni nest is made by extending the periphery of the outer comb to be an envelope sheet, while the envelope of R. leopoldi nest is a structure independent of the combs as in all the species of the species-group to which R. leopodi belongs. Construction of the envelope is assumed to have evolved independently at least three times in Ropalidia : once in the species-group to which R. leopoldi belongs, once in R. bensoni which is close to R. kurandae, and once in R. melania which is included in the species-group to which R. bambusae belongs.
