Haris A.: Sawflies from China (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae)
Haris, A.: Sawflies from China 89 The very special sawsheath differs (Fig. 17) the new species from all other Eurhadinoceraea Enslin, 1920 species. Tenthredo dongchuanensis spec. nov. (Figs. 8 and 11) Holotype: female, China, Yunnan, Dongchuan, 1500-3200 m, 26.07° N 103.14° E, 08. 06. - 03. 07. 1994. Leg. Vit. Kuban. Head black; dark yellow: total clypeus, total labrum, outer surface of mandible, palpi, lower quarter of outer orbit, large spot behind eyes covering distal half of temples. Antenna black, dorsal side of scape and apical spot on pedicell dark yellow. Thorax black; dark yellow: wide pronotal margine, tegula and mesoscutellum. Legs black, dark yellow: anterior surface of tibiae and tarsi of anterior and middle legs, hind tibia entirely and ventral surface of hind tarsus. Anterior wing slightly infuscate with dark brown strip covering entire radial cells, upper half of cubital cells, first discoidal cell and most of the submedian cell. Abdomen black, yellow: wide hind margine of tergite 3, large central spot on tergite 8 and narrow hind margine of tergite 9. Ovipositor entirely black. Head densely, deeply and roughly punctured all over, matt. Punctures on frontal area extremely large, crater like punctures. Gena about as large as diameter of anterior ocellus. OOL : POL : OCL: 23 : 4 : 13. Ratios of antennal segments: 12 : 8 : 30 : 18 : 16 : 13:11:10:10. Postocellar area length : width: 3:5. Antenna short and thick, about as long as head and thorax till anterior margin of mesoscutellum. Mesonotal lobe densely, minutely and deeply punctured. Interspace between punctures 0.5-1.Ox as large as a puncture, shiny. Mesoscutellum smooth and shiny, mesoscutellar appendage smooth and siny with few deep and large punctures. Metascutellum smooth and shiny. Mesopleuron and mesepistemum with rough, very dense, deep and moderately large punctures, matt. Upper half of mesopleuron with crater-like punctures. Mesoscutellum bluntly elevated without carina. Mesopleuron strongly and bluntly elevated. Mesostemum without thorn. Abdominal tergite matt with very dense, fine granulation, middle part of propodeum gently shiny. Second tergite without furrow. Claw without basal lobe, subapical tooth as long as apical. Middle serrulae in Fig. 11. Length: 11.0 mm. Related species: Tenthredo katoi Takeuchi, 1929: we have no information on its serrulae, but mesoscutellar appendage, postscutellum and posterior margin of metanotum, basal part of third tergite, sides of tergite 4, median part of apical tergites are black of the new species not yellow like in Tenthredo katoi. Tenthredo rectangulata Vasú & M.S. Saini, 1999: serrulae completely different. Compare Fig. 11 with Saini, 2007, Fig. 451. Acknowledgement I express my grateful thanks to Dr. Fritz Gusenleitner, Biologiezentrum Linz, for loaning the extensive Oriental sawfly collection, to Dr. Meicai Wei for checking and commenting the species descriptions and to Dr. András Gubányi, Hungarian Natural History Museum for the excellent genitalia photos.
