Pristiphora geniculata, the mountain ash sawfly, is a species of common sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae. It is found in Europe. [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.
The English name gooseberry sawfly refers to at least three species of sawfly:
Pristiphora erichsonii, the larch sawfly, is a species of sawfly. The adult sawfly resembles a black wasp, is about ½ inch in length with a thick waist and has brown to orangish markings on the abdomen. Larvae have black heads, gray-green bodies with white undersides, and are about 15–18 mm long when full grown. Larvae occur in groups and characteristically curl their bodies upward in a "J" shape when disturbed.
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.
Thalia geniculata, the bent alligator-flag, arrowroot, or fire-flag, is a plant species widespread across tropical Africa and much of the Americas.
Spruce sawflies are various sawfly species found in North America that feed on spruce. There are multiple species of sawflies known as spruce sawflies, including species in the genera Gilpinia, Pikonema, Pristiphora, and Cephalcia. Each kind of sawfly attacks particular parts of the spruce as larvae during different times of the year.
Pristiphora is a genus of sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae. Some of its species, such as the larch sawfly Pristiphora erichsonii, eat the leaves of economically valuable trees and shrubs, and can be serious pests.
Nematini is a tribe of common sawflies in the family Tenthredinidae. There are about 14 genera and at least 30 described species in Nematini.
Eusarca geniculata is a species of geometrid moth in the family Geometridae. 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.
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.
Clausicella geniculata is a species of bristle fly in the family Tachinidae. It is found in North America.
Pristiphora cincta is a Holarctic species of sawfly.
Pristiphora laricis is a Palearctic species of sawfly.
Pristiphora mollis is a Holarctic species of sawfly.
Pristiphora staudingeri is a Holarctic species of sawfly.
