Eutomostethus luteiventris is a species of sawflies belonging to the family Tenthredinidae, subfamily Blennocampinae. [1]
This species is present in the Nearctic realm and in most of Europe, with exception of the Balkan and Iberian Peninsula. [2] It mainly inhabits wet meadows and hedge rows. [3]
Eutomostethus luteiventris can reach a length of 5–7 millimetres (0.20–0.28 in). [3] Head, antennae and thorax are shining black. Abdomen is orange, with black basal plates and apical segments. Wings are rather infuscate. Legs are mainly orange, but the apical half of the forefemurs are black. [4]
Adults can be found in May and July, while larvae are present in July and August. Adults feed on nectar of Anthriscus sylvestris , while larvae are monophagous, feeding only on Juncaceae ( Juncus articulatus , Juncus conglomeratus and Juncus effusus ). [3] [5]
Sawflies are the insects of the suborder Symphyta within the order Hymenoptera, alongside ants, bees, and wasps. The common name comes from the saw-like appearance of the ovipositor, which the females use to cut into the plants where they lay their eggs. The name is associated especially with the Tenthredinoidea, by far the largest superfamily in the suborder, with about 7,000 known species; in the entire suborder, there are 8,000 described species in more than 800 genera. Symphyta is paraphyletic, consisting of several basal groups within the order Hymenoptera, each one rooted inside the previous group, ending with the Apocrita which are not sawflies.
Tenthredinidae is the largest family of sawflies, with well over 7,500 species worldwide, divided into 430 genera. Larvae are herbivores and typically feed on the foliage of trees and shrubs, with occasional exceptions that are leaf miners, stem borers, or gall makers. The larvae of externally feeding species resemble small caterpillars. As with all hymenopterans, common sawflies undergo complete metamorphosis.
