Recent additions to the list of German sawflies (Hymenoptera, Symphyta)

Abstract

Two tenthredinid sawfly species are newly recorded in Germany: Pristiphora krausi (Lacourt, 2006) and P. melagoniasp. nov. The latter is also recorded from Greece and Spain. These species belong to the Pristiphora depressa group, as confirmed by genetic data. Additional data are presented for seven other tenthredinid species which have only rarely been recorded in Germany and for which previously-published data are incomplete. Identification keys to the West Palaearctic species of Eurhadinoceraea and the Pristiphora depressa group are included. Other species of Symphyta, first recorded in Germany since the publication of the most recent checklist, are listed in a table, with references to literature which describes identification characters.

Two species are known or believed to feed on A. campestre: P. depressa (Hartig, 1840), which was seen ovipositing into a leaf of the very same tree on the 28 th of May 2021 (Fig.…”
