361] LARVAE OF THE TENTHREDINOIDEA—YUASA 43 



maxillary and labial palpi typically with four and three segments respec- 

 tively, never obsolete, number of segments rarely reduced; clypeus usually 

 with two or three setae on each side; mandibles usually with one to four 

 setae; tenth abdominal tergum without suranal process and sometimes 

 with caudal protuberances; subanal appendages never present; epicranial 

 suture and vertical furrows usually present; metaspiracles functionless, 

 obsolete, or very much smaller than abdominal spiracles; various glands 

 sometimes present. 



The family Tenthredinidae according to MacGillivray contains twenty- 

 four subfamilies of which five are not represented in the Nearctic 

 fauna. The subfamilies found in the United States and Canada are as 

 follows: Diprioninae, Emphytinae, Selandriinae, Dolerinae, Phyllotominae, 

 Lycaotinae, Tenthredininae, Cimbicinae, Hoplocampinae, Dineurinae, 

 Monocteninae, Cladiinae, Nematinae, Blennocampinae, Fenusinae, Sco- 

 lioneurinae, Hylotominae, Schizocerinae, and Acordulecerinae. Of these, 

 Lycaotinae and Dineurinae have not been available for study.
