Nematus ventralis, the willow sawfly, is a species of common sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae. [1] [2] [3]
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.
Nematus ribesii is a species of sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae. English names include common gooseberry sawfly and imported currantworm. This insect is best known as a pest of gooseberries. The larvae feed on the foliage of the plant, often defoliating it completely.
The English name gooseberry sawfly refers to at least three species of sawfly:
Nematinae is a subfamily of sawflies belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. It contains over 1250 described species in ~40 genera. Members of this subfamily feed on a wide range of plants and employ a wide range of feeding habits, both internally and externally, on their host plants.
Nematus leucotrochus is a species of sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae, known as the pale-spotted gooseberry sawfly. Widespread throughout central and northern Europe, this insect is best known as a pest of gooseberries. The larvae feed on the foliage of the plant, defoliating it. Unlike Nematus ribesii, the common gooseberry sawfly, the species has a single brood. Adults appear in early May and larvae in May and June.
Nematus is a genus of sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae. Some of its species, including Nematus leucotrochus, Nematus olfaciens and Nematus ribesii, eat the leaves of fruit bushes and trees, and can be serious pests.
Nematus spiraeae is a species of sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae, known as the aruncus sawfly and sometimes the spiraea sawfly. It is native to central and northern Europe and was first recorded in Britain in 1924. Its larvae feed on the leaves of goat's beard.
Nematus oligospilus, commonly known as the willow sawfly, is a species of sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae. Native to central and northern Europe and Asia, it was first recorded in South America in the 1980s and New Zealand in 1997, and has also been introduced to Australia, South Africa and Lesotho. Its larvae feed on the leaves of various species of willow.
Nematus tibialis, known generally as the locust sawfly or false acacia sawfly, is a species of common sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae.
Nematini is a tribe of common sawflies in the family Tenthredinidae. There are about 14 genera and at least 30 described species in Nematini.
Rhynocoris ventralis is a species of assassin bug in the family Reduviidae. It is found in North America.
Cimbex americana, the elm sawfly, is a species of sawfly in the family Cimbicidae. This is a very large species of Hymenoptera, with adults measuring 3 cm and larvae reaching 5 cm long. If captured, adults may buzz and use their powerful spiny legs defensively. However, like other sawflies, this species does not possess a sting.
Pterostichus ventralis is a species of woodland ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in North America.
Ametastegia pallipes, the violet sawfly, is a species of common sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae. It is found in Europe.
Ametastegia is a genus of common sawflies in the family Tenthredinidae. There are about 16 described species in Ametastegia.
Allantus cinctus, known generally as the curled rose sawfly or banded rose sawfly, is a species of common sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae. It is found in Europe.
Schizocerella is a genus of sawflies in the family Argidae. There are at least two described species in Schizocerella.
Nematus myosotidis is a Palearctic species of sawfly.
Nematus lucidus is a Palearctic species of sawfly.
