2(1) Scutelly are yellow, whole antenna is black.

3 (4) Apical third of anterior wing is dark infuscate. Stigma is pale brown. Stemites are dominantly black (except sternites 3-4 and posterior margines of stemites 5-7). Hind femur is pale with dorsal black strip. (Yan et al. 2008)

The new species is also similar to the Palaearctic Tenthredo temula Scopoli, 1763 (and related species). In these species, tergite 7 always black (yellow in the new species) and pedicell is black, tibiae are yellow with black apex (in the new species both are red).

Table A

Antenna is black with white apex (last apical 2 segments may be black), in several species the apical white segments with longitudinal black line. Body is black or rusty brownish red. Abdomen is red or red with basal tergites or black with middle red band. Mesonotum is densely punctured matt. First tergite(s) frequently with white lateral spots. Wings hyaline.

1 (2) Base colour of abdomen is black with bluish or violet lustre (Tenthredo variicolor group). 4 species not discussed here: Tenthredo variicolor Malaise, 1945; Tenthredo seriemaculata Malaise, 1945; Tenthredo breviserrata Wei, 1998 and Tenthredo multi- maculata Wei, 2002

2 (3) Base colour is different, (only 1 species is with metallic lustre but it is restricted to last 4 apical tergites).

3 (2) Abdomen is red and black or dominantly red.

4(15) Mesoscutellum is not black, mostly pale: white or yellowish white or black with large central white spot (in 1-1 species it is red or brownish yellow).

5 (6) Mesoscutellum and clypeus is red-fulvous. Apical abdominal segments are black

with faint purplish tinge. Otherwise abdomen is fiilvous. Apical third of hind femur black...............................................................................Tenthredo hingstoni Malaise, 1945

6 (5) Mesoscutellum is not red. Pale, mostly white (in one species brownish yellow). 5(6) Pale apical part of antenna with longitudinal black line. (All femora are ferruginous frequently stripped with black. Head is pale with large ocellar spot leaving wide pale inner orbit which is confluent with pale temples. Abdomen is ferruginous except blackish anterior 2/3 of propodeum and medial spot on tergite 2.)

6 (5) Pale apical part of antenna without longitudinal black line.

7(10) Propodeum (tergite 1) and tergite 2 like total abdomen red.
