Laboratory studies were carried out in India to determine whether pain-producing autacoids were present in the venom of Vespa tropica (L.) (cincta F.), a wasp commonly found in Bengal. The results indicated that acetylcholine, 5-hydroxytryptamine and histamine were present. However, other active substituents may also have been present.
