Family Tenthredinidae

Family Tenthredinidae

The Tenthredinidae are by far the most diverse sawfly family globally with around 6000 species in an excess of 400 genera. In the northern hemisphere, the Tenthredinidae are predominant. In Britain, there are approaching 450 species in around 80 genera.

The Tenthredinidae are characterised as follows. The antennae have between seven and fifteen segments though the majority have nine segments. The hind margin of the pronotum when viewed from above is strongly emarginated. The abdomen is not carinate along the lateral margins.

The group is split into five subfamilies: the Allantinae, Athaliinae, Nematinae, Selandrinae and Tenthredinae. Of these, the Nematinae is the largest group with approximate 215 species in Britain.
