; "semicincta" (an ornamented label above and below the hand-writing); "Monophadnus semicincta Htg. ó* E. Clément det.". For this male specimen I further added:"Paralectotypus 6 Tenthredo semicincta Hartig, 1837 des. Zombori 1979" and "Cladardis semicincta Htg. ó* det. Zombori 1979". A close study of the type-specimens showed that the lack of a distinct postgenal carina already excludes the taxon from the genus Monophadnu

s Hartig, 1937. Furthermore, the slender body, the upturned apex of A3 in the fore wing readily directs us to the genus Cladardis Benson, 1952. Thus, the genus Cladardis today includes three European species, which may be separated as follows. European species of Cladardi

Clypeus truncate or more or less triangularly excised. Legs and tegula black. Abdomen, including cercus black. 3 (4) Head with dense alutaceous surface sculpture and small punctures. Clypeus truncate. Outer orbit at upper corner of eye with a wide groove extending downward to about 1/3 of entire length. Thorax similarly sculptured as head. Front tibia in front dirty brown.

Clypeus various in shape, frequently deeply, triangularly excised, or only weakly emarginate, never truncate. Outer orbit smooth, without a groove. Front tibia in front dirty white. Abdominal tergites 2-4 shining with very weak (sometimes absent) alutaceous surface sculpture, 5-9 rather mat. 5-8 mm . . , r elongatula (Klug, 1814) Hinatara nigripes (Konow, 1907) The rather short flight period of most mining sawflies much hampers the collecting of the imagoes. In many a collection only a few specimens are found. Those who take the trouble of collecting larvae still in mines stand a better chance in obtaining a longer series of reared imagoes. Owing to meagre materials, there is much confusion in interpreting one or the other species, thus, in most cases the examination of types becomes inevitable. Hinatara nigripes Knw. a tiny, black species with scarcely any reliable distinguishing features in the description presented the same problem. I collected some thirty nearly fully fed larvae still in mines of Acer campestre at Nagykovácsi (near Budapest) on the 20th of May, 1978. In the following year 11 p and 4 S emerged: the males on the 14th and 15th of April (two on each day), while the females from the 15th to the 27th of the same month. I was almost certain that these specimens were H. recta (C.G. Thomson, 1871) this time reared from a different host plant since the latter species was supposed to feed in the leaves of Acer platanoides, an observation by R. MALAISE in Stockholm. I was further inclined to accept this notion for BENSON (1941) suggested that nigripes "is possibly synonymous" with recta

. On the other hand, I had some doubt, because KONOW (1907) mentioned a rather obvious feature in his description of nigripes "fronte superiore super antennas et sub ocello inferiore foveatim impressa", which my specimens clearly displayed.
