ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK LVIII 1997 pp. 183-185 New pamphiliid sawfly records in the Carpathian Basin (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) A. Shinohara and L. Zombori New pamphiliid sawfly records in the Carpathian Basin (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) - Authors record the presence of three Pamphilius web-spinning sawfly species (P. festivus, P. nigrifemoratus, P. norimbergensis) within the boundaries of the Carpathians. A new Hungarian record of the species Pseudocephcdeia praeteritorum is also given. During a brief visit at the end of March, 1997, to the Hymenoptera Collection in the Department of Zoology of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest) the senior author studied the species of Pamphiliidae preserved there. This research ascertained the presence of three Pamphilius species (P. festivus, P. nigrifemoratus, P. norimbergensis) yet unrecorded in the fauna of the Carpathian Basin. Consequently, these species are new for this geographical region. Pamphilius festivus Pesarini et Pesarini, 1984 Owing to its great resemblance to Pamphilius betulae (Linnaeus) the two specimens of festivus were mixed up with those of the latter species. The new Hungarian locality is "Budapest Csúcs-hegy 1967. V. 28. leg. Mihályi", the identification label bears "Pamphilius betulae det. Zombori 1965" 1 female. There is also another female specimen from "Balkan Stara Planina Merkl". It is now recorded for the first time in Hungary! Otherwise, the recently described species has been shown (Shinohara and Zinovjev 1996) to occur in France, The Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Latvia, Finland, Sweden, Italy, Russia (St. Petersburg, Moscow, Ural, East Siberia). Pamphilius nigrifemoratus Shinohara et Taeger, 1990 The species was described on the basis of a single male specimen from the "Bucegi Geb., Umg. Bucsoi, 1400 m" in Rumania. In 1996 Shinohara and Zinovjev recorded two more male specimens from the Ukrainian Carpathians. However, it proved to be that there are several more female and male specimens in the Flymenoptera Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest). Since the original description of the species is very detailed hereunder we give only those features which differ from those of the male holotype, closely adhering to the sequence of characters published in 1990. Female. Head: clypeus with a long, narrow yellow stripe on the anterior margin, on other specimens stripe occupying entire anterior margin and confluent with yellow
