Natura Somogyiensis 25 81-88 Kaposvár, 2014 The sawfly subfamilies Blennocampinae and Nematinae from Laos (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) Attila Haris H-1076 Budapest, Garay utca 19 2/20, e-mail: attilaharis@yahoo.com Haris, A.: The sawfly subfamilies Blennocampinae and Nematinae from Laos (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae). Abstract: 14 Blennocampinae and Nematinae sawfly species are reported from Laos. Blennocampa gusenleit- neri spec. nov. and Pristiphora kubani spec. nov. are described. Keywords: Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae, Laos, new species Introduction This is the 7th paper on the sawfly-fauna of Laos. The investigation of the sawflies of the country was iniciated by (Turner 1919, 1920) who published 2 papers on the former Indochina which included the present territory of Laos, based on the results of the Vitalis de Salvaza expeditions. 87 years later, Haris and Roller (2007) reported 25 sawfly species from the country including 11 new species for the science. In 2013, Haris (2013) published a study on the Tenthredo Linné, 1758 fauna of Laos. In the recent book, further 3 papers take place including the Blennocampinae and Nematinae species. In this paper, further 14 sawfly species are reported. Material and methods The studied material was collected by Dr. C. Holzschuh, J. Bezedek, E. Jendek and V. Kuban with the help of local voluntiers between 1999 and 2011. It amounts 35 specimens. For the identification of the species, we consulted the comprehensive works of H aris 2006a,b, Saini 2006 and Wei 1994 completed with numerous papers as follows: Haris and Roller 1999, 2007, Niu and Wei 2009, Wei 1994, 2006, Wei and Lin 2005, Wei and Nie 1998, 2003, 2003, Xiao et al. 1997 and many others. Holotypes are deposited in the Biologiezentrum Linz, Austria.
