Abstract: During the second year of the investigation, 281 specimen of 75 species of sawflies were collected at Cerová vrchovina (South Slovakia) (Figs. 1 and 2). Rare species are: Rhogogaster genistae (Benson, 1947), Macrophya teutona (Panzer, 1799), Eutomostethus punctatus (Konow, 1887) and Aneugmenus coronatus (Klug, 1818). Keywords: Hymenoptera, Symphyta, Cerová vrchovina, Slovakia Introduction In our last papers (Balázs & Haris 2019a, b) 189 specimen of 75 sawfly species were reported from this region including 3 new species for the Slovak fauna, namely Pseudocephaleia praeteritorum (Semenov, 1934), Aprosthema austriacum (Konow, 1892) and Euura calcicola (Benson, 1948). This year we continued the 5 year lasting investigation of the fauna of Cerová vrchovina. Material and methods The research of sawflies started in 2018 and continued in 2019. This year, 12 days have been spent with collecting, 2 days in April and 10 days in May. The main collection method was net sweeping completed with 3 Malaise traps and 1 interception trap. The collected material were frozen and later pinned and forwarded to the second author for identification. The material is maintained in the first author’s personal collection, some rare species were deposited in Rippl-Rónai Museum, Kaposvár. For identification, Zhelochovtsev’s work on the sawflies of the European part of the former USSR (Zhelochovtsev 1988) and the recently published monograph of the ISSN 1587-1908 (Print); ISSN 2062-9990 (Online)
