To the knowledge of the fauna of sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) of Mordovia (Russia)

Abstract

An annotated list of 122 species of sawflies belonging to eight families collected in the Republic of Mordovia (Russia) is presented. Dolerus quadrinotatus (Bíró, 1884) is recorded for the fauna of Russia for the first time. Photographs of this rare species are given and differences from D. logaster Thomson, 1871, which has a similar body colour, are discussed. The following species are new for the fauna of Mordovia: Allantus cingulatus (Scopoli, 1763), Empria fletcheri (Cameron, 1878), E. immersa (Klug, 1818), E. pumila (Konow, 1896), Cladardis hartigi Liston, 1995, Aglaostigma gibbosum (Fallén, 1808), Macrophya teutona (Panzer, 1799), Tenthredopsis auriculata (Thomson, 1870) and T. scutellaris (Fabricius, 1804).
