S.: A New Tenthredo species from Chopta, India (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae). Asbtract: Tenthredo (Tenthredella) indonitidula spec. nov. is described from Chopta, India and compared to Tenthredo yinae Wei, 1999, Tenthredo (Tenthredella) atra Linné, 1758, Tenthredo dorsivittata (Cameron, 1902) and Tenthredo micropunctata Saini and Vasu, 2001. Keywords: Hymenoptera, Symphyta, Tenthredinidae, Tenthredininae, Tenthredo, India, Chopta, new species Introduction The present paper is the second part of our previous publication titled Tenthredo (Linné, 1758) species from Chopta, India (Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Tenthredinidae) (Haris & Saini, 2018). The material, similarly to the previous one, was collected by Dr. Malkiat S. Saini in Chopta, Uttarakhand state of India and after preselection and first identification was sent to Attila Haris for confirmation and analysis. Material and methods The material consists of 9 specimens of 8 species, all of them belong to genus Tenthredo Linné, 1758. As a result of the identification, 8 species were identified, one of them is proved to be new for science. For identification the comprehensive works of Malaise (1945) and Saini (2007) were consulted compared with high number of subrecently published papers mainly from Chinese, Slovak and Hungarian authors (Wei & Nie 1998, 2002; Wei, Wen & Deng 1999, Wei & Zhong 2002; Nie & Wei 1998; Haris & Roller 1998 and 2007 and many others, due to the extremely high number of papers, we could not list all of them, only the most relevants for our present study). For the subgeneric classification we applied the mostly accepted system of Zhelochovtsev (Zhelochovtsev 1988). Holotype is deposited at ZSI (Zoological Survey of India) Solan (H.P). Both authors are author of the new species: ie. Haris and Saini. ISSN 1587-1908 (Print); ISSN 2062-9990 (Online)
