Natura Somogyiensis 9 201-277 Kaposvár, 2006 Study on the Palaearctic Pristiphora species (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) HARIS ATTILA H-8142 Úrhida, Petőfi u. 103, Hungary, e-mail: attilaharis@yahoo.com HARIS, A.: Study on the Palaearctic Pristiphora species (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae). Abstract: The first key is completed for the Palaearctic Pristiphora Latereille, 1810 species. Pristiphora araratensis sp. n. is described. Pristiphora kamtchatica Malaise, 1931, Pristiphora mesatlantica Lacourt, 1976 and Pristiphora amelanchieris (Takeuchi, 1922) are new synonyms of Pristiphora insularis Rohwer, 1910. Keywords: Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae, Pristiphora, Paleartic region Introduction This paper is my sixth contribution to the knowledge of the Palaearctic Pristiphora Latreille, 1810 species after my 2 papers on the Nematinae of the Carpathian basin (HARIS, 2001 a and b), 1 paper on the world Nematinae collection (Nematinae Orbis Terrarum) of the Hungarian National History Museum, Budapest (HARIS 2003), 1 paper on the Mongolian Nematinae species, housed also in Budapest (HARIS, 2002), 1 paper on the Spanish Nematinae species (HARIS, 2004), 1 paper on the Japanese Nematinae species form the Takeuchi collection (HARIS and ZSOLNAI 2006), and finally 1 paper on the Tenthredinidae species collected from Sakhalin and the Kurile Islands and donated by Dr. Ermolenko to the HNHM, Budapest (HARIS, 2006). The distribution of the 230 known Pristiphora species are mainly restricted to the Palaearctic region (155 species). 26 species are recorded from the Nearctic region and 19 additional species are Holarctic (Palaearctic and Nearctic). Few species are also recorded from the Oriental (21 species), Neotropical (8 species) and from the Malaisean region (Borneo, intermediate area between the Oriental and Australian faunistic area, 1 species only). No native Pristiphora species are known from the Afrotropical and the Australian region. Method and material For the identification and studying of the European Pristiphora species the following keys and papers are recommended: KONOW, 1904, ENSLIN, 1918, BERLAND, 1947, BENSON, 1958, MUCHE, 1974, HELLÉN, 1975, ZHELOCHOVTSEV, 1988; LINDQVIST 1949, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1960, 1963, 1964, 1967, 1968 and 1969, CHEVTN, 1974, HARIS 2001 a,b, 2004, LACOURT 1987, 1995, 1998, LISTON 1995, ROLLER 1999, SCHEDL 1981, VIKBERG 1978, VIKBERG and KANGAS 1980, WONG, 1975, POOL and GENTILI 1999, SAVELA 2005, TAEGER and BLANK 2004.
