New Sawfly Species in the Hungarian Fauna (Hymenoptera, Symphyta), III. by L. ZoMBORi, Budapest Abstract — Nine sawfly species new to the Hungarian fauna are discussed briefly. Ten­tkredo obesa (MOCSÁRY, 1880) sp. rev. has so far been wrongly treated as a synonym of Tenthredo rossii (PANZER, 1805) ; the former species is now re-established. With 4 figures. The present paper is the third in line to give information on recently identified sawfly species new to our Hungarian fauna (cf. also ZOMBORI 1975, 1976). The hereunder discussed nine species follow a systematical order. 1. Thrinax macula (KLUG, 1814) — A slender, elongated species, length generally varying between 5 and 8 mm. Body extensively black, though pronotum partly, tegulae, legs and middle of abdomen above yellowish red. The larva feeds on ferns. The adults are rather elusive and very rarely collected. Out of the four European Thrinax KNW. spe­cies, three occur in the Carpathian Basin. So far none of them have been collected in Hun­gary. The sole female specimen was netted in the Bakony Mountains: Zirc, Pintérhegy (30. V. 1974, leg. Kasper), in Transdanubia. Thus, it is not only the species which is new to our fauna but it is the first occasion that the genus is reported for Hungary. (BTMZ). 2. Hoplocampa chrysorrhoea (KLUG, 1814) — This very small, 3.0-4.5 mm long, rath­er inconspicuous species is almost quite black above, sternites and legs are, however, extensively yellow. An infrequent species whose larva feeds in the developing fruit of sloe (Prunus spinosa). The five specimens collected in Hungary come from two localities: "Lebujpuszta legelő, [V. 20, leg. BAJÁRI—MÓCZÁR" 1 O ; "Veszprémfajsz, 1960. IV. 14, leg. PAPP, on Prunus spinosa, 4 9. (HNHM, BTMZ). 3. Hoplocampa pcctoralis THOMSON, 1871 —The exemplars of this species are gene­rally mixed up among the specimens of H. crataegi K.L., since they closely resemble each other and are found in the blossom of Crataegus. The major difference between the quite common crataegi and the rare pectoralis is the coloration of the head, the former has a very extensively yellow, the latter an almost entirely black head. Of course, other diffe­rences also distinguish readily the two species. The Hungarian localities are: "Simontornya Hung., oc., 1911. V. 8. W.", 1 9; "Hungária, Budapest, Uisznófő, 1920. V. 6, leg. GAMMEL , P/40", 1 9; "Nagykovácsi, 1972. V. 14, leg. ZOMBORI", 1 9; "Hungária, Budaörs, Csiki-hegyek, 1976. V. 11, leg. ZOMBORI", 1 9. (HNHM). 4. Monophadnus longicornis HARTIG, 1837—An entirely black species, generally 7-8 mm long. The wings may be more or less infuscated with brown. The claw, quoted to be simple by ENSLIN (1914), bears a tiny inner tooth far removed from the end tooth. This inner tooth is sometimes so reduced as to be almost indistinguishable. Best seen on hind tarsus, while on fore tarsus may wholly escape attention. Hungarian localities: "Iharos, PÁVEL, 1900. VI. 4", 1 9. "Nadap, 1951. IV. 19-21, leg. MÓCZÁR, BAJÁRI", 29, l'çf; "Mecsek hegys. 1954. VI. 26, leg. KASZAB", 1 9 ; „Mecsek hgys. leg. MÓCZÁR L., 1955. VI. 7", \çf ', "Mecsek hgys., leg. GEBHARDT, Lapis, 1957. IV. 5", 1 9 ; "Oobogókő, 1957. VI. 14, szálerdő (= timber forest), leg. KAKASSNÉ ", 1 çf. (HNHM).
