Haris, A.: Two new sawfly species from India (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae).

Abstract: Two new sawfly species are described from India: Eusunoxa flavoindiana spec. nov. and Corrugia indoanthracina spec. nov. and compared to Eusunoxa formosana Enslin, 1911, E. bucht Togashi, 1981, Corrugia anthracina (Malaise, 1944) and Corrugia sulciceps (Malaise, 1944).

Introduction

The indián sawfly fauna was listed and keyed in several monographs (Saini 2006a,b, Saini et ah, 2006).The known number of sawfly species from India amounts the 750 species (Saini et al., 2006). This is our fourth contribution to the knowledge of sawflies of India (Haris 2000, 2004 and Haris and Roller 2007).

Methods and material

Few specimes from India were found in the extensive collection of Oriental sawflies of the Landesmuzeum Linz collected by R Pacholátko, Z. Kejval and M. Tryzna in 1999 and 2005 from Meghalaya and Tamil Nadu states of India, 2 opposite states (Northern and Southern) of the subcontinent. Two of them proved to be new species for the science. For the identification of these species we consulted Saini 2006a,b, Smith and Saini 2003, Malaise 1944, Wei 1997a,b, Wei and Nie 2002). Due to the extremely fragile condition of types, we did not dissected their genitalia. Types are deposited in the collection of Landesmuzeum Linz.
