Haris, A. & Gyurkovics, H.: The genus Tenthredopsis Costa, 1859 in Hungary (Hymenoptera: Symphyta). Abstract: The Tenthredopsis Costa, 1859 collections of the Hungarian public collections are reidentified and published. Tenthredopsis albonotata (Brullé, 1832), Tenthredopsis andrei Konow, 1898 and Tenthredopsis floricola (Costa, 1859) are new records for the Hungarian fauna.

Introduction

Although the members of the genus Tenthredopsis Costa, 1859 are relatively large and colorful species, their identification has been very problematic from the early days of faunistic research until recently.

From the early 20th century till the 70-es, or sometimes even later, the monograph of Enslin (1918) was used. He considered nearly all different color variants as separate species and recorded 39 species from Central Europe.

In 1968, Benson revised the genus (Benson 1968). He recognised 12 species from central Europe and synonimised several species. Tenthredopsis tischbeinii (Frivaldszky, 1877), Tenthredopsis ornata (Serville, 1823), Tenthredopsis lactiflua (Klug, 1817), Tenthredopsis scutellaris (Fabricius, 1804) etc. are missing from the key of Benson or discussed as synonym names of other species. This situation resulted many misidentifi- cations in the Hungarian faunistic papers.

According to our present knowledge, 19 species of Tenthredopsis Costa lives in Central Europe (Zhelochovtsev 1988, Blank and Ritzau 1998 and Roller and Haris 2008), 18 of them has already been captured in the Carpathian Basin, 16 of them from the present territory of Hungary.

The recent works of Ladislav Roller, also the latest works of Haris from 2008 are based on the recent system of Tenthredopsis (Roller 1996, 1999a, b, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2007, Roller et. al., 2006, Roller and Haris, 2008, Haris 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, Gyurkovics and Haris 2012).

Older faunistic works from Zombori, Pillich, Móczár, early works of Haris were based on the keys of Enslin and Benson. Approximately 50% of the identifications in the Hungarian collections had to be corrected following the key of Blank and Ritzau 1998. The present key is the adaptation of the German work to the Carpathian Basin.
