Saini & Deep, 1992, Neothrinax incisus Wei, 1998, Neothrinax formosana Rohwer 1916, Neothrinax phoupanensis Haris, 2014, Taxoblenus sinicus Wei and Nie, 1999, Taxoblenus longicornis Wei and Nie, 1999, Taxoblenus rufoclypeus Wei & Nie, 1999, Taxonus aterritina Wei, 1997, Taxonus zhangi (Wei, 1997), Taxonus leucotrochantera (Wei, 1997), Tenthredo katoi Takeuchi, 1929 and Tenthredo rectangulata Vasú & M.S. Saini, 1999. A new color variation of Eriocampa notoana Togashi, 1981 is described from Taiwan. Keywords: Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae, China, new species Introduction This is my 12th contribution to the knowledge of the sawfly fauna of China (Haris 1996, 2000, 2007,2008, 2009,2012, and 2014, Haris & Roller 1998, 1999, a,b, 2007). The known Symphyta species from China exceeds the 1717 species which were listed in Wei et al. in 2006. With this amount of species, China and Russia have the most diverse sawfly fauna in the world. The known species is still increasing due to the research group work and worked in China namely: Chu, Xiao, Wei, Zhou, Nie, Ouyang, Hunag, Wu, He, Shu, Huang, Chen, Deng, Ding, Wen, Wu, Sun, Li, Zhong, Zhang, Zhu, Xu, Yang and Yuan. The latest checklist were published by Wei et al. 2006. Material and methods The identified Chinese material was collected in Yunnan, Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces of China by I. H. Marshal, Zd. Jindra, M. Tryzna, J. Halada and S. Becvar between 1992 and 2012. For the identification, the following books, monographs and papers were consulted: Malaise 1944, 1945, 1947, 1961, 1963, Saini 2006a, b, 2007, Saini & Deep 1992, Takeuchi 1929, 1941, Wei & Nie 1999, Wei 1997a, b, c, 1999, Wei et al. 1997. Genitalia were dissected and figured. Holotypes are deposited in the Biologiezentrum Linz, Austria.
