Rhogogaster chlorosoma is a species of sawflies in the family Tenthredinidae.
Rhogogaster chlorosoma can reach a length of 10–13 millimetres (0.39–0.51 in). It is one of the various green sawflies with a variable black pattern, but in this sawfly the black markings on the top of the abdomen are absent or quite reduced. Like other sawflies, this species lack the slender "wasp-waist" between the thorax and abdomen.
Similar species are Rhogogaster viridis , that shows evident black marks on the upper surface of the abdomen and Rhogogaster punctulata , bearing black dots along the sides of the abdominal segments.
Adults can mostly be encountered from May through July. They mainly feed on pollen and nectar of Heracleum sphondylium as well as small insects. The nocturnal larvae are polyphagous, feeding on the leaves of a variety of woody and herbaceous plants, mainly Sorbus, Quercus robur , Salix, Corylus avellana , Stellaria, Filipendula ulmaria , Alnus glutinosa , Rubus and Populus.
It is widespread in most of Europe.
This species prefers hedgerows and vegetated mountain areas.
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.
