Abstract

Keys to adults and larvae of the genera of West Palaearctic nematine sawflies are presented. Species of some of the smaller genera are keyed, and their taxonomy, distribution, and host plants reviewed, with a geographic focus on north-western Europe, particularly Sweden.DinematusLacourt, 2006 is a new junior subjective synonym ofPristiphoraLatreille, 1810, resulting in the new combinationPristiphora krausi(Lacourt, 2006) for the type species ofDinematus.Hemichroa monticolaErmolenko, 1960 is a new junior subjective synonym ofHemichroa australis(Serville, 1823). Lectotypes are designated forTenthredo opacaFabricius, 1775, Mesoneura opaca var. nigerrima Enslin, 1914, Mesoneura opaca var. obscuriventris Enslin, 1914,Nematus hypogastricusHartig, 1837,Nematus alnivorusHartig, 1840,Leptopus rufipesFörster, 1854,Nematus protensusFörster, 1854, and Platycampus luridiventris var. pleuritica Enslin, 1915. A phylogenetic analysis based on four genes (mitochondrial COI and nuclear NaK, POL2, and TPI) supports the current generic classification.
