Natura Somogyiensis 26 69-72 Kaposvár, 2015 A new Birmindia Malaise, 1947 species from Nepal (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) Attila Haris H-1076 Budapest, Garay u. 19. 2/20. email: attilaharis@yahoo.com Haris, A.: A new Birmindia Malaise, 1947 species from Nepal (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae). Abstract: Birmindia godavariensis spec. nov. is described and compared to to Birmindia turneri Malaise, 1947. Keywords: Birmindia, new species, Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae, Nepal Introduction The known sawflies of Nepal hardly reach the 70 species. The sawfly fauna of Nepal probably rich and extensive but hardly studied, only few papers and monographs contain data on the sawfly-fauna of this country (Malaise 1945, Zombori 1985, Koch 1996, Muche 1986, 1987a, b, c, Haris 2000, 2007, Cameron 1876, 1899, Smith 1981). Material and methods The collected sawfly material is a part of the large Oriental collection which is deposited in the Natural History Museum, Linz, Austria. This collection contains one specimen from Nepal which is proved to be a new species. For identification, we consulted the monography of Malaise 1947 and the book of Saini 2006 completed with the papers of Saini and Vasu 2004 and Wei 2006. The holotype is deposited in the entomological collection of Landesmuzeum Linz.
