Haris A.–Saini S. M.: Tenthredo (Linné, 1758) species from Chopta, India
78 Natura Somogyiensis species proved to be new for science. For identification, the comprehensive works of Malaise (1945) and Saini (2007) were consulted completed with high number of subrecently published papers mainly from Chinese authors (Wei & Nie, 1998, Wei, Wen & Deng 1999, Wei 2002a, b and many others, due to the extremely high number of papers, we could not list all of them, only the most relevants for our present study). For the subgeneric calssification we applied the mostly accepted system of Zhelochovtsev (Zhelochovtsev 1988). Holotypes, paratypes and voucher specimens are deposited at ZSI (Zoological Survey of India) Solan (H.P). Both authors are author of the new species: ie. Haris and Saini. Abbreviations: IATS: Inner apical tibial spur ICD: Inter cenchri distance IDMO: Interocular distance at level of median ocellus ITD: Inter tegular distance LID: Lower interocular distance MB: Metabasitarsus (length) OATS: Outer apical tibial spur (length) OCL: Ocello occipital line OOL: Oculoocellar line POL:- Post ocellar line Description of the new species Tenthredo triangulum spec. nov. (Figs. 2, 3 and 4) Holotype: female, India, Chopta, 2680 m., 23. 06. 2015. Leg.: M. S. Saini. Head pale straw colored (in life green). Head in dorsal view covered with large black spot covering vertex, temple, suprantennal tubercles and frontal area leaving narrow inner orbit. Mouthparts pale. Antenna entirely black. Thorax pale green. Black: longitudinal line on mesopleuron, dorsal line in middle of pronotum, triangular lateral spots on corners of pronotum, middle spot on tegula, anterior lobes of mesonotum except its V-shaped hind margin, lateral lobes of mesonotum, basal subtriangular spot on mesos- cutellum, depressed part of mesonotum and metanotum. Legs straw colored, black: longitudinal line on all femora, longitudinal line on hind coxa. Abdomen straw colored with rusty red 4 apical segments, black: first segment (propodeum) except pale oval large central spot on hind margin, narrow anterior margins of segments 2-6 with triangular projections laterally (1-1) and centrally (1). Ovipositor rusty red. Wings hyaline, costa and stigma brownish yellow. Veins blackish brown. Head (frontal area, supraan- tennal tubercles, inner orbits, temples and vertex) with very dense, moderately deep punctures without shiny interspaces matt on black coloured area. The light area of head (supraclypeal area, face, genae) unpunctured, shiny. Head contracted behind eyes. Clypeus and labrum sparsely punctured with moderately large, shallow punctures, shiny. Supraantennal tubercles and frontal ridges confluent and elevated. Mesopleuron, pronotum, propleuron, mesosternum and metapleuron with minute, dense hardly visible shallow punctures, strongly shiny. Anterior and lateral lobes of mesonotum, mesoscutellum
