Antenna filiform, almost not narrowed toward the apex, last antennomere apically blunt. 3rd antennomere about 1.2 × as long as 4th and 2.0 × as long as 8th. 8th antennomere about 4.0 × as long as broad. Head in dorsal view somewhat narrowed behind the eyes. Postocellar area about 1.8 × as broad as long, almost flat and not distinctly higher than the remaining upper head, lateral postocellar furrows deep. Occipital carina prominent and complete. Distance between the lateral ocelli (postocellar line, POL) about 1.5 × as long as diameter of the median ocellus (OD), ocular ocellar line (OOL) 4 × OD, ocellar-occipital carina line (OOCL) nearly 3 × OD. Frontal area with only slightly elevated ridges with shallow furrow between them, antennal furrows shallow. Clypeus apically roundly emarginated to about 0.4 of its length. Labrum apically almost straight, somewhat reflexed. Malar space slightly longer than OD, distance between the toruli about 2 × OD. Head silky shiny, with very shallow microsculpture and few small distant pits. Microsculpture on the remaining body clearly stronger, less shiny, pits more distinct with distances of about 2–5 × their own diameter. Hairs usually clearly shorter than OD. Apical margin of sternum 7 (hypopygium) slightly emarginate. Lancet with rather flat serrulae.</p> <p>MALE (Figs 1 G–L, 2B–C): similar to the female; antennae more slender, 8th antennomere almost 6 × as long as broad. Inner tooth of the claw larger than in female.</p> <p> <i>Color</i>: alive almost completely pale green, dead specimens fading to straw. Antenna dorsally black (scape may be completely pale), pro- and mesotibiae and their tarsi posteriorly black lined, metatibia dorsally black lined and apically black, metatarsus mainly black, metafemur subapically posteriorly black marked. Area between the ocelli, apices of the mandibles, parts of the down bent areas of the lateral mesoscutal lobes, and middle parts of mesopostnotum black marked. Wings hyaline, pterostigma green, remaining veins predominantly dark.</p> <p> <i>Variability</i>. Body size 8–10 mm. First antennomere (scape) dorsally more or less black lined or completely pale (e.g., holotype). The median mesoscutal groove and the anterior margin of the median mesoscutal lobe may be narrowly black marked.

All coxae yellow, basally black; front legs anteriorly yellow, posteriorly mainly black; middle femur black, more or less yellow marked anteriorly, middle tibia yellow, basal and apical quarter posteriorly black, tarsus of middle leg yellow, tarsomeres more or less darkened basally and apically; hind leg similar to middle leg, but femur and apical quarter of tibia completely black, the basal black colour of the hind tibia only about half as long as the apical one, and tarsi more yellow than middle tarsi. Wings hyaline, about the apical third of front wings slightly infumate; veins dark brown, pterostigma dark brown, basally pale. Abdomen black, tergum 1 yellow except for its anterior margin, terga 2–6 with large yellow lateral patches, sometimes confluent at the posterior margins of terga 2–4; sterna 2–6 mainly yellow. Head. Antenna long, about as long as costa and pterostigma together, compressed laterally, from 5 th onwards nearly twice as high as broad in dorsal view. Antennomeres 3: 4: 5 about as 1.0: 0.8–0.9: 0.7–0.8; 8 th antennomere in lateral view 2.7–3.3 times as long as broad; frontal crests strongly developed, free standing; antennal and postocellar furrows deep; postocellar area about 1.1–1.2 times as broad as long; postocellar line about as long as diameter of ocellus; ocular-ocellar line about 1.5 times as long as ocellar-occipital carina line; in dorsal view temples narrowed, about 0.6–0.8 times as long as eyes; clypeus semicircularly emarginate to about one third of its length; labrum apically rounded; malar space about as long as diameter of the median ocellus; head with minute shallow pits, strongly shiny, malar space matt. Thorax dorsally and on mesepisternum densely sculptured, rather matt, with fine scattered pits and semiopaque surface between the pits owing to dense microsculpture; mesepisternum at its most elevated point with rugose impression; posterior part of mesoscutellum and scutellar appendage with strong, isolated pits. Abdomen shiny, with shallow microsculpture; hind margin of the hypopygium emarginate in the middle; saw with about 23 annuli (Fig. 44). Male (Figs 45, 46). Length 12–13 mm. Similar to the female, but the pale colour is more extensive: clypeus yellow, the black of the frontal area may not touch the upper corners of the eyes, dark spot on gena strongly reduced; middle legs anteriorly yellow; terga 2–6 only with faintly indicated dark median line or completely yellow except for the anterior margins.

This species is dedicated to our colleague and friend Dr Mei-Ling Chan (NMNS,Taichung) in cordial thanks for organizing a successful long-term cooperation between the NMNS and the SDEI and for her kind hospitality during the visit of AT to Taiwan in 2011. DISCUSSION. The new species is described in the present study because it is similar to Tenthredo concinna (see above). The taxon from Taiwan runs smoothly in the key of Saini (2007) to T. concinna Mocsáry, 1883, and in the key of Malaise (1945) to T. concinnoides Malaise, 1945 (= concinna, see above). T. concinna is not known from Taiwan; former records from Taiwan refer to T. chanae. Apart from its distribution, chanae can be easily distinguished from concinna as follows (character states of concinna in parentheses): —hind tibia basally black (basally yellow) —basal half of 4 th antennomere black dorsally (mainly or completely yellow) —in female yellow mesepisternal spot dissolved in two spots (one large spot) —mesepisternum at its most elevated point with rugose impression (without rugose impression) —frontal crests strong developed, separated from frontal area by a deep furrow (frontal crests less developed, nearly fading out in direction to frontal area, separated only by a shallow furrow) —serrulae of the saw prominent (less prominent in concinna, Fig. 12) Tenthredo gressitti Malaise, 1945, from Taiwan also resembles T. chanae as its antenna is also pale marked on 3 rd to 5 th antennomeres, and the frontal crests are well developed. But several characters separate it clearly from chanae, e.g., gressitti has a different yellow colour pattern of the head, thorax and abdomen, the antennae completely dark on their outer side, pterostigma black, hind legs nearly completely yellow, temples reddish brown and in dorsal view not distinctly narrowed, mesepisternum at its most elevated point with only faintly indicated rugose impression.Published as part of Taeger, Andreas, 2013, The type specimens of Tenthredo Linnaeus, 1758 (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, pp. 201-244 in Zootaxa 3626 (2) on pages 237-239, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3626.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/24804

This new species is named after Dr. Sergej A. Belokobylskij, who played an important role in bringing about the joint Russian-German expeditions in 1993 and 2016. Remarks. This new species has much in common with P. lobatus Maa, 1950, P. planifrons Beneš, 1976, and P. rhoae Shinohara, 1988, which are the members of P. thorwaldi complex (Shinohara, 2002b). Shinohara (1988b) described the male of P. belokobylskiji as P. planifrons. These four species share punctate pilose heads with only moderately swollen upper frons and facial crests, short flagellomere 1 and a generally similar colour pattern, except for that of the abdomen. Pamphilius belokobylskiji is easily distinguished from P. planifrons and P. rhoae by the largely orange abdomen in both sexes, though the male genitalia of the three species are almost indistinguishable. The female of P. belokobylskiji is very similar to that of P. lobatus and can be separated from it almost only by the different surface microsculpture of the head. In P. belokobylskiji, the broad area from the paraantennal fields (except for the ventral margin), frons, facial crests, ocellar area to the transverse and lateral transverse sutures is dull and rather shallowly rugose with mostly confluent and indistinct punctures (Fig. 8: 18aa-cc), whereas in P. lobatus, the area is dull and rugose and the punctures are dense and generally very distinct (Fig. 8: 19a). There may be some differences in colour pattern as shown in the key but the characters apparently overlap and are of only supplementary value for species distinction. The male of P. belokobylskiji is also similar to that of P. lobatus in extragenital characters, but the narrow valviceps of P. belokobylskiji (Fig. 11: 57aa) is very different from the very broad valviceps of P. lobatus (Fig. 11: 57a). The differences in the surface microsculpture of the head, noted above for the females, also apply to the males. In male genitalic characters, P. belokobylskiji strongly resembles P. planifrons and P. rhoae, but the latter two species have no orange areas on the abdomen. In our molecular analyses (Figs 149, 161), the P. thorwaldi complex was retrieved as monophyletic with 98% UFBoot support in COI and with 97% UFBoot support in NaK, but P. belokobylskiji was not clearly differentiated from the related species.Published as part of Shinohara, Akihiko, Kramp, Katja & Taeger, Andreas, 2022, The Pamphiliinae of the Russian Far East and Korea (Hymenoptera, Pamphiliidae), pp. 1-251 in Zootaxa 5167 (1) on pages 87-89, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5167.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/687648
Allantus centrorufus Mocsary 1909
Allantus centrorufus Mocsáry, 1909 A valid subspecies, Tenthredo (Tenthredo) jakowlewi centrorufa (Mocsáry, 1909). TYPES. Allantus centrorufus Mocsáry, 1909: 21. Syntypes Ƥ 3, “Turkestania: Saty-Ashu”. Lectotype 3, hereby designated (Fig. 7). Type locality: “Turkestan”, “Saty-Ashu” [=? Kyrgyzstan, Alatau: Saty, River Asu]. DISCUSSION. In the collection of the HNHM two syntypes (Ƥ 3) were found. As the female no longer has antennae, the male is hereby selected as lectotype (Fig. 7) (Ƥ paralectotype, same data as the lectotype). The status of the taxon is still under discussion. In agreement with Zhelochovtsev (1976), Taeger (1992) treated it as a subspecies of T. jakowlewi (Jakowlew, 1891) from Tian Shan, whereas Lacourt (1999) considered centrorufus without further explanation as a synonym of this species.Published as part of Taeger, Andreas, 2013, The type specimens of Tenthredo Linnaeus, 1758 (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, pp. 201-244 in Zootaxa 3626 (2) on page 207, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3626.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/24804
Pristiphora (Pristiphora) thalictri TAEGER et al. 1998
Pristiphora (Pristiphora) thalictri (Kriechbaumer, 1884) (Figs 3, 6, 9, 12) Nematus thalictri Kriechbaumer, 1884: 105–106 (original description). Pristiphora thalictri: KONTUNIEMI (1960): 90 (host plant); TAKEUCHI (1949): 49 (host plant); OKUTANI (1967):92 (host plant); LISTON (1995): 131 (host plant); TAEGER et al. (1998): 115 (host plant); PSCHORN- WALCHER & ALTENHOFER (2006): 1624 (host plant). Material examined. CZECH REPUBLIC: BOHEMIA mer.: Šumava NP, Černý Kříž (7149), 7.vi.2014, 6 larvae on Thalictrum aquilegifolium; 19.vi.2015, 18 larvae on Thalictrum aquilegifolium, all J. Macek lgt. & det. (NMPC). Description of the last instar larva. Body length 12–13 mm. Colour. Head yellow brown, with brownish reticulate pattern on vertex; trunk yellow green with narrow translucent dark blood vessel. Discussion. The larva was shortly descibed and its host plant, Thalictrum aquilegifolium, recorded by KRIECHBAUMER (1884, as Nematus thalictri). Subsequently this host species was also mentioned by KONTUNIEMI (1960), TAEGER et al. (1998), LACOURT (1999), and PSCHORN- WALCHER (2006). Additionally, TAEGER et al. (1998) noticed larvae of an unrecognized species feeding on Thalictrum minus on a xerotermic site in Kyffhäuser (Fränkischer Jura, Germany), which might refer to P. sareptana. Additional food plants from Japan, Thalictrum thunbergii (OKUTANI 1956) and T. minus (TAKEUCHI 1949), are not evaluated here, and need confirmation. Distribution.

Allantus rufipes Mocsary 1909
Allantus rufipes Mocsáry, 1909 A senior objective synonym of Tenthredo (Tenthredo) carna Enslin, 1912. TYPES. Allantus rufipes Mocsáry, 1909: 20. Syntypes Ƥ, “Turkestania: Montes Alai”. Lectotype Ƥ, hereby designated (Fig. 32). Type locality: “Alai mont.” [= Alai, mountain range in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan]. Secondary homonym of Tenthredo rufipes Say, 1824 [= Tenthredo leucostoma (W. Kirby, 1837)]. = Tenthredo carna Enslin, 1912 b: 104. Replacement name for Allantus rufipes Mocsáry, 1909. DISCUSSION. Taeger (1992) distinguished the species from the very similar Tenthredella eximia Kuznetzov- Ugamskij, 1927 (= Tenthredo kuznetzovi Taeger & Blank, 1996), secondary homonym of T. eximia Norton, 1868, and noted the existence of two female syntypes without selection of a lectotype. One of these specimens is hereby designated as lectotype (Fig. 32). The paralectotype has the same data.Published as part of Taeger, Andreas, 2013, The type specimens of Tenthredo Linnaeus, 1758 (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, pp. 201-244 in Zootaxa 3626 (2) on page 227, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3626.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/24804
