CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD REVISION OF THE TENTHREDININAE SUBFAMILY (HYMENOPTERA, TENTHREDINIDAE)

In this note, the author : 1) re-etablishes the genera Cuneala Zirngie bl and Murciana Lacourt and shows, with help of new characters that th ey are different from genus Elinora Benson with which they have been s ynonymised recently; 2) regards subgenera Cephaledo Zhelochovtsev and Zonuledo Zhelochovtsev as good genera; 3) shows that tribe Sciapterygi ni is heterogeneous and must be modified, by regrouping genera Elinora Benson, Cuneala Zirngiebl, Murciana Lacourt, Zonuledo Zhelochovtsev, Sciapteryx Stephens, Paratenthredo Taeger and Elinopsis Lacourt; genus Tyloceridius Malaise must be transferred near Rhogogaster Konow; 4) c reates a new tribe Cephaledinini only for genus Cephaledo Zhelochovtse v, which ensures transition between ELinorini and Tenthredinini; 5) sh ows that Rethrax Cameron and Tenthredella Rohwer are not synonymous, a nd must be regarded like genera; 6) creates two new subgenera, Endotet hryx n. subgen. and Rhodettenyx n. subgen., inside genus Tenthredo L.; 7) shows that Fethalia Cameron is a subgenus of Tenthredo L. making a transition between Tenthredo and Jermakia Jakovlev; 8) creates a new genus, Sainiella n. gen. for Allantus felderi Radoszkowsky, 1872 from south eastern Asia; 9) regards genus Flagellaria Saini et al. as a syn onym of Beldonea Cameron and isolates this genus in a new tribe, Beldo neini and a new subfamily, Beldoneinae, which has some affinities with Selandriinae; 10) creates a new genus, Cytisogaster n. gen. for the R hogogaster of the species-group picta; 11) asks questions about genus Pachyprotasis in south-eastern Asia; 12) shows that genus Aglaostigma Kirby is very heterogeneous and with help of penis valve and host-plan t, that it can be subdivided, at least, into three subgenera, Macrophy opsis Enslin being a good genus; 13) regards genus Colochela Malaise, 1937 as a synonym of Neocolochelyna Malaise, 1937 after study of the t ype of Colochela rufidorsata Malaise, 1937; 14) establishes that nearc tic genus Dimorphopteryx Ashmead, always placed before in Emphytinae ( = Allantinae), is in fact very closely related to Armitarsus Malaise f rom Japan, and isolates these two genera inside a new tribe: Dimorphop terygini; 15) creates a new subfamily : Sioblinae, ensuring transition between Emphytinae (= Allantinae) and Tenthredininae, which consists of four tribes: Sioblini Takeuchi, Dimorphopterygini n. trib., Athloph orini n. trib. and Conaspidiini n. trib.; 16) establishes a provisiona l classification of subfamilies Tenthredininae, Beldoneinae and Siobli nae.
