Tenthredopsis scutellaris, a common sawfly, is a species of the family Tenthredinidae and subfamily Tenthrediniinae. [1]
This species is mainly present in British Isles, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Poland and Romania. [2]
These sawflies mainly inhabit hedgerows, meadows, roadsides and forest edges [3]
Adults of Tenthredopsis scutellaris can reach a length of 8.5–12 millimetres (0.33–0.47 in). [3] Thorax is black, with a yellow stripe along the forehead and yellow scutellum and postscutellum. The legs are brown, but the hind legs are black. The wings are clear with brown veins. [4] Sexual dimorphism is not conspicuous, but in males the rear thigh is rather light, while in the females it is dark. Moreover in the females the abdomen is black with a central broad red band. [5]
Adults of Tenthredopsis scutellaris can be encountered from May through June [3] feeding on nectar and pollen of flowers of Apiaceae species ( Heracleum sphondylium ). [3] The larvae are polyphagous on a variety of plants, especially on Apiaceae species ( Anthriscus sylvestris ) and on herbaceous plants (Poaceae species). [3]

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.
Diprion similis is a species of sawfly in the family Diprionidae. It is native to central and northern Europe and Asia but was accidentally introduced into North America where it has become invasive. The larvae feed on the needles of pine trees, especially those of the white pine. In North America it is known as the introduced pine sawfly or the imported pine sawfly. It is also known as the white pine sawfly because of its preference for feeding on the white pine, but this name is confusing because another sawfly, Neodiprion pinetum, whose larvae also feed on this tree, is itself known as the "white pine sawfly".
Neodiprion lecontei is a species of sawfly in the family Diprionidae native to eastern North America, commonly known as the red-headed pine sawfly or Leconte's sawfly.
