Abstract: 189 specimens of 75 species of sawflies were collected at Cerová Upland (South Slovakia). Pseudocephaleia praeteritorum (Semenov, 1934), Apros thema austriacum (Konow, 1892) and Euura calcicola (Benson, 1948) are new records for the Slovak fauna. Rare species are: Pseudocephaleia praeteritorum (Semenov, 1934), Apros thema austriacum (Konow, 1892), Euura calcicola (Benson, 1948) and Fenusella glaucopis (Konow, 1907). Keywords: Hymenoptera, Symphyta, Cerová Upland, Slovakia, new records Introduction Territory of Cerová vrchovina Upland takes 16 771 ha in the south of Central Slovakia, in the border of the former Nógrád and Gömör counties (Fig. 1). The area belongs to the Inner Western Carpathians and to the Matricum subarea from geobotanic point of view (BolfÍk et al. 1990). Cerová vrchovina Upland belongs to the Bukovinka, Fil’akovo and Lucenec formations with varied clays, sands, gravels, rhyodacite tuffs, claystones, sandstones and gray calcareous siltstones formed with alkali basalts and basanites (Biely et al. 2002). The highest peak is Karancs (728 m), the highest volcano is Medves (575 m) and the lowest altitude is at Janice water reservoir (167 m) (Horváth & Gaálová 2007). Karancs Mts. are covered by continuous forests, settlements occurs on the margins only, whilst the woodlands at the Medves Mts. are fragmented and villages are distributed evenly within the area. The most common vegetation associations in the studied area are Prunetum fruticosae, Alnetum glutinosae, Carpinion betuli, Querco robori-Carpinetum, Carici pilosae-Carpinetum, Mercuriali-Tilietum, Melittio-Fagetum, Quercetum petraea-cerris (Figs. 2, 3 and 4) (Csiky 2004). This unit is poor in wetlands and even the major watercourses have a low water discharge. The area is divided by a watershed between the rivers Danube and Tisza. Cerová Upland is situated in warm zone which has continental characteristics; warm, extremely dry district with moderate winter and warm, moderately dry district with cold winter (Horváth & Gaálová 2007). From the region, 24 species were published from Gemercek (Kisgömöri) (the most interesting species are: Athalia rufoscutellata Mocsáry, 1879 and Tenthredo vespiformis ISSN 1587-1908 (Print); ISSN 2062-9990 (Online)
