Natura Somogyiensis 26 65-68 Kaposvár, 2015 Anew Athlophonis Burmeister, 1847 species from Cambodia (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) Attila Haris H-1076 Budapest, Garay u. 19. 2/20. email: attilaharis@yahoo.com Haris, A.: A new Athlophonis Burmeister, 1847 species from Cambodia (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae). Abstract: Athlophorus kongensis spec. nov. is described from Cambodia and compared to Athlophorus meg- halayensis Saini and Singh, 1987 and Athlophorus gracilis gracilis (Konow, 1898). Keywords: Hymenoptera, Symphyta, Tenthredinidae, Athlophorus, Cambodia, new species Intruduction Till our present days, there have not been published any paper on the sawflies of Cambodia probably due to the subrecent political and social conflicts and the stepmines (pressure mines) which were spreaded throughout the country making the scientific expeditions extremely dangerous. On the sawflies of former Indochina which included the present territory of Cambodia, in the early 20th century, 2 papers were published (Turner 1919 and 1920), based on the results of the Vitalis de Salvaza expeditions. Since that time, only one species was recorded from the country, namely Kompongia cambodgensis Malaise, 1937 described from the collection of the Paris Natural History Museum (Malaise 1937). Material and methods The studied Oriental material amounts approximately 2000 specimens was collected by Dr. C. Holzschuh, E. Jendnek, 1. H. Marshal, Zd. Jindra, M. Tryzna, O. Sousa, J. Halada, S. Becvar, S. Sazanov, V. Kubán with the help of local voluntiers. Only one of them captured in Cambodia. For the identification of the species, we consulted the monography of Malaise 1945 and Saini 2006 completed with numerous papers as follows: Saini and Vasu 1997, Saini and Ahmad 2012, Wei and Nie 2002, Nie and Wei 2004, Haris 2002, 2006, 2007 and Haris and Roller 2007. Holotype is deposited in the Landesmuseum Linz.
