World genera of the leaf-mining sawfly tribe Fenusini (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae)

A key is given to the 19 genera of Fenusini, and synonymies and discussions are given for each genus. The tribe Cacosyndiini is synonymized with Fenusini, and Afusa Malaise is a new synonym of Nefusa Ross. The larvae of Fenusini are leaf miners, and species are found throughout the northern hemisphere south to Burma and Nepal in Asia, and in southern South America. Several species have been accidentally introduced to areas outside their native ranges; at least 5 species are adventives in North America.

Sawflies And Woodwasps (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) of Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Abstract As a contribution to the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a list of the 234 species of sawflies in 10 families collected in the park are presented. Localities in the park, numbers of specimens, inclusive dates of collection, inclusive altitudes, and host plants for each species are given.

The Sawfly Genus Hemichroa Stephens : A Review of Species (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae)

Adults and larvae of the six species of the sawfly venus Hemichroa are keyed and discussed. Reprentatives are found in Eurasia and North America. . orientalis Rohwer is a new synonym of H. crocea Fourcroy), and H. amelanchieridis Rohwer and H. thoracicus Harrington are new synonyms of H. militaris (Cresson). The larvae feed on the foliage of Alnus, Betula, Corylus, Salix, Crataegus, Amelanchier, and Prunus.

Aulacidae (Hymenoptera) of Korea, with Notes on their Biology

Abstract. n Five species of Aulacidae are recorded from Korea: Aulacus salicius Sun and Sheng, 2007, Pristaulacus insularis Konishi, 1990, Pristaulacus intermedius Uchida, 1932, Pristaulacus kostylevi Alekseev,1986, and Pristaulacus jirisani Smith and Tripotin, new species. All except P. intermedius represent new country records. A key to species and a diagnosis of each species are provided. Collection notes are given for each species, indicating that Xiphydria palaeanarctica Semenov (Hymenoptera: Xiphydriidae) is the host for A. salicius, and Cerambycidae and possibly Buprestidae (Coleoptera) are the hosts for the Pristaulacus species.

A New elm Leafmining Sawfly (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) from Russia

Abstract. Fenusa absens, n. sp., is described from Novosibirsk, Russia. It was reared from leaf mines in Siberian elm, Ulmus pumila L. Placement of this species in Fenusa Leach is discussed, and comparison is made to other species of elm leafmining sawflies. Because Ulmus pumila is not native to the Novosibirsk region, it is possible that Fenusa absens is an introduced species in the area.

Xiphydriid Woodwasps (Hymenoptera: Xiphydriidae) of Korea

Abstract. n Six species in three genera of Xiphydriidae are recorded from Korea, Euxiphydria potanini (Jakovlev, 1891), Xiphydriola amurensis Semenov, 1921, Xiphydria annulitibia Takeuchi, 1936, X. camelus (Linnaeus, 1758), X. jakovlevi Semenov and Gussakovskij, 1935, and X. palaeanarctica Semenov, 1921. Xiphydriola amurensis, Xiphydria annulitibia, and X. jakovlevi are new country records. The following taxonomic changes are proposed: Xiphydriola nishijimai (Togashi, 1998), n. comb., and Nasoxiphia Maa, 1949 = Xiphydria Latreille, 1803, n. syn.

The Second Record of a Sawfly Leafminer on Rosa, A New Species of Fenusa (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae)

Abstract. n Fenusa ewaldi Smith, n. sp., is described from Novosibirsk, Russia. The larvae are leafminers of Rosa sp. (Rosaceae) and represent only the second sawfly leafminer of this plant genus.

ATHALIA CORNUBIAE BENSON (HYMENOPTERA: TENTHREDINIDAE: ALLANTINAE), A SAWFLY GENUS AND SPECIES NEW TO NORTH AMERICA

Abstract. n Athalia cornubiae Benson, an Old World species that feeds on Sedum (Crassulaceae), is reported from North America. It was collected in a Lindgren funnel trap in East Syracuse, Onondaga Co., New York, U.S.A. in 2007 and found in Malaise trap collections at a residence in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in 2010. This is the first record of both the genus and species in the Western Hemisphere.

A New Pseudodineura Konow (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) from Kasatochi Island, Alaska

Abstract Pseudodineura kasatochi Smith, n. sp., is described from Kasatochi Island, Alaska. This is the first record of a species of Pseudodineura from Alaska. The specimen was collected prior to a volcanic eruption in August 2008 that nearly destroyed all life on the island. It is separated from other Palearctic and Nearctic species of the genus.

The Woodwasp Genus Eriotremex (Hymenoptera: Siricidae), a Review and a New Species from Malaysia

Abstract Eriotremex magnificus, n. sp., from Malaysia is described and illustrated. Current information, including some new distributional records, is given for the other 12 species currently placed in the genus, and a revised key to species is provided.
