Natura Somogyiensis 25 89-114 Kaposvár, 2014 The sawfly subfamily Allantinae, Selandrinae and Heterarthrinae from Laos (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) Attila Haris H-1076 Budapest, Garay utca 19 2/20, e-mail: attilaharis@yahoo.com Haris, A.: The sawfly subfamily Allantinae, Selandrinae and Heterarthrinae from Laos (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae). Abstract: 77 species are reported from Laos. Fifteen new species are described: Apethymus turrisii spec, nov., Beleses gusenleitneri spec, nov., Caliroa laoparvula spec, nov., Caliroa laonigrissima spec, nov., Caliroa laominuta spec, nov., Denticornia laoensis spec, nov., Emphystegia pseudomaculata spec, nov., Heptamelus kubani spec, nov., Neostromboceros kubani spec, nov., Neothrinax phoupanensis spec, nov., Ridgea laoensis spec, nov., Taxonus laoensis spec, nov., Taxonus rubroscapus spec, nov., Taxonus albotemplis spec. nov. and Taxonus sanctifloriani spec. nov. Further 36 species are new records for Laos. Members of Beleses multipicta (Rohwer, 1916) group are keyed and compared. Keywords: Laos, Hymenoptera, Symphyta, Tenthredinidae, new species Introduction Only few papers were published on the sawfly fauna of Indochina in the early 20th century (Turner 1919 and 1920), 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 this paper, 69 sawfly species are published collected by Dr. Eduard Jednek, Dr. Ondrej Sausa and Dr. Roman Hergovits. Material and methods Most of the studied material was collected by Dr. C. Holzschuh and in smaller part by Dr. Vit Kubán with the help of local voluntiers. It amounts approxymately 500 specimens. For the identification of the species, we consulted the comprehensive books of Saini 2006a,b and c completed with numerous papers as follows: Haris 2006, 2008, Haris and Roller 1999, 2007a,b, Koch 1988, Malaise 1944, 1963, Niu and Wei 2009, Saini and Vasu 2001, Smith and Saini 2003, Wei 1997a,b, Wei and Nie 1997,1998, Wei and Xiao 2002, Wei and Zhu 1999, Zhu and Wei 2008. Holotypes are deposited in the Biologiezentrum Linz, Austria, some paratypes are in Rippl-Rónai Museum, Kaposvár, Hungary.
