EF030A01E45DFFCE23A4FF2CFA404300.taxon	discussion	Note: The male of cantoti is unknown. The male of brevis is extremely rare: we were unable to locate any specimens. Hoplocampa tadshikistanica is so far only known from the type series collected in Tadzhikistan, and is thus extra-limital, but is included because it might occur in the West Palaearctic. Hoplocampa sogdiana Zhelochovtsev, 1976 is not included, because no specimens were available for examination, and the original description is not very informative. It is also only known from the type series collected in Tadzhikistan, from Crataegus laevigata (Poir.) DC (= oxyacantha auct.) (Zhelochovtsev 1976).	en	Liston, Andrew, Prous, Marko, Vårdal, Hege (2019): A review of West Palaearctic Hoplocampa species, focussing on Sweden (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae).

EF030A01E450FFC323A4FF2FFAAF4649.taxon	description	Total number of specimens examined: 44. Similar species. Most similar in coloration are Hoplocampa ariae and phantoma (see key). Very pale specimens of crataegi, from southern Europe, are also similar, but in crataegi the radius is darker than the other venation, whereas in alpina, ariae, and phantoma all venation is equally pale. The lancet of alpina (Fig. 77) is closely similar to that of ariae (Fig. 78) and crataegi (Fig. 79), but the ventralmost ctenidial tooth on the middle annuli is situated more ventrally in the former. The most reliable difference between the lancets of alpina and phantoma (Fig. 80) is the presence of ctenidial teeth on annular sutures 1 – 2 or 1 – 3 in the former, and on ca. 1 – 7 in the latter. Males of phantoma and alpina are only distinguishable by examination of the penis valve: phantoma without group of long setae at apex of valviceps (Figs 98 – 99), alpina with group of long setae (Fig. 94). The penis valves of alpina and crataegi (Fig. 95) are closely similar. Possibly the long setae are apically more strongly curved in crataegi, but it is likely that this apparently slight difference will not separate all specimens. The penis valves of alpina and ariae (Fig. 96) are also similar, but differ in that ariae has a more obtuse valviceps apex and larger group of apical setae, which are also longer. Life history.

EF030A01E451FFC523A4FAB8FC5F4449.taxon	description	[Male not examined] Total number of specimens examined: 40. Similar species. Most closely resembles Hoplocampa testudinea, with which it shares the same hosts. In direct comparison, imagines can be distinguished thus: - Mesonotum completely black. Postocellar area black. Female valvula 3 black. Lancet (Fig. 87) with very large, horizontally orientated ventralmost ctenidial teeth, on middle annuli reaching back almost to base of adjacent sawtooth; middle and apical sawteeth without serrulae. Male relatively common ................................................... testudinea - Mesonotum partly pale (brown). Postocellar area pale. Female valvula 3 brown. Lancet (Fig. 81) with small, obliquely orientated ventralmost ctenidial teeth, on middle annuli not reaching near to base of adjacent sawtooth; middle and apical sawteeth with numerous serrulae. Male extremely rare ........................................................... brevis Larvae of these species were compared in detail by Velbinger (1939), who concluded that the only reliable character for separating them, is the presence in brevis of a small, triangular, dark marking on the middle of the upper labrum (often therefore obscured by the overlying clypeus). This marking is absent in testudinea. Roberti (1957) described and illustrated differences between these species in the setation and surface sculpture of abdominal tergum 10. Life history. Host plants: Pyrus communis (Pschorn-Walcher & Altenhofer 2000), occasionally Malus domestica (Velbinger 1939). Biology: Velbinger (1939), Roberti (1946). Hoplocampa brevis is normally entirely parthenogenic, and the male is said to be very rare (Velbinger 1939, Masutti & Covassi 1980). In fact, the only original report of the occurrence of males appears to be by Konow (1888: 189 – 190).	en	Liston, Andrew, Prous, Marko, Vårdal, Hege (2019): A review of West Palaearctic Hoplocampa species, focussing on Sweden (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae).

EF030A01E456FFC423A4FA37FDC643A9.taxon	description	Total number of specimens examined: 10. Similar species. Based on external characters, could be confused with minuta, chrysorrhoea, or fulvicornis: see key. The lancet (Fig. 92) has a highly distinctive shape, among W. Palaearctic species resembling only chrysorrhoea (Fig. 90). As illustrated by Chevin (1986), we found differences between these two species in the gross morphology of the lancets: narrower in chrysorrhoea, and apex curved somewhat upwards in chrysorrhoea, but straight in cantoti. Life history. Host plants: not known for certain. The Bulgarian specimens were mostly swept from Prunus spinosa, and sometimes from P. domestica growing among these. Chevin (1986) suggested that the host is Prunus mahaleb, which is a characteristic component of the woody vegetation of the two known French localities. Howev- er, Prunus mahaleb was not seen close to the Bulgarian localities, and is not recorded at the Swiss locality (infoflora 2017). Therefore, we suppose that the host is Prunus spinosa.	en	Liston, Andrew, Prous, Marko, Vårdal, Hege (2019): A review of West Palaearctic Hoplocampa species, focussing on Sweden (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae).

The lancet of chrysorrhoea (Figs 90 – 91) is similar only to that of cantoti (Figs 92 – 93): see comments under that species. The penis valve (Fig. 101) somewhat resembles those of fulvicornis (Fig. 102) and minuta (Fig. 103), but the distal prolongation in chrysorrhoea is much shorter and wider. Life history. Host plants: not known for certain. Benson (1958) stated that Prunus spinosa is the host. Numerous subsequent authors have followed this, but it is not clear on what evidence the original statement was based. Adults are indeed often swept from flowering Prunus spinosa, but also from flowers of other Rosaceae, and in several countries have been found on Crataegus, at localities where P. spinosa was absent (e. g. Miles (1936), Liston et al. (2015), and Moroccan records, below). In our opinion, Crataegus could be the (only) host, but if this is so, then oviposition must be into flowers which are at an early stage of development, many days before they open. This would be unusual among European Hoplocampa species. Lorenz & Kraus (1957) cite Vallot (1848) as having found the larvae in the fruits of Ribes uva-crispa (Grossulariaceae), but this seems highly improbable, because all known Hoplocampa larvae feed on rosaceous hosts.	en	Liston, Andrew, Prous, Marko, Vårdal, Hege (2019): A review of West Palaearctic Hoplocampa species, focussing on Sweden (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae).

EF030A01E454FFD923A4F8E3FAA04305.taxon	description	Total number of specimens examined: 109. Similar species. Because they both have Crataegus species as hosts, darker individuals of the highly variable crataegi might be confused with pectoralis. In direct comparison, they may be separated thus: Females - Valvulae 3 in dorsal view less than 2 × as long as basal width, tapering increasingly towards apex; longest setae arise near middle (Fig. 62). Lancet (Fig. 79): ventralmost ctenidial teeth well-developed on basal and middle annuli; middle sawteeth strongly hooked. [In Central and northern Europe: apical 0.5 – 0.7 of metatibia blackish on all surfaces, contrasting with completely pale yellow base; valvula 3 largely pale in lateral view; mesepisternum yellow; mesoscutellum at least partly yellow] ..................................................................................................................................................................................... crataegi - Valvulae 3 in dorsal view more than 2 × as long as basal width, evenly tapering; longest setae arise on apical 0.2 – 0.3 (Fig. 61) Lancet (Fig. 89): completely without ctenidial teeth; middle sawteeth weakly hooked. [Metatibia at most slightly fuscous on extreme apex; valvula 3 entirely black; mesepisternum yellow above, black below; mesoscutellum completely black] .......................................................................................... .. pectoralis Males - mesoscutellum partly yellow, at least on posterior margin (Fig. 72); antenna completely pale; propleuron anteriorly edged with black (Fig. 34); penis valve: Fig. 95 ......................................................... crataegi - mesoscutellum completely black (Fig. 27); basal flagellomeres fuscous above (Fig. 27); propleuron entirely pale (Fig. 28); penis valve: Fig. 105 ........................................................................ pectoralis Life history. Host plants: Crataegus spp. (Pschorn-Walcher & Altenhofer 2000). Liston (2007) thought that crataegi is mainly attached to C. monogyna, rather than C. laevigata, but this was based solely on observations on visits by adults to the respective inflorescences. Brischke (1883, caption to Plate IV) reared adults from C. laevigata (= oxyacantha). More recently, two larvae extracted from fruits of C. monogyna were identified by COI barcoding as crataegi.	en	Liston, Andrew, Prous, Marko, Vårdal, Hege (2019): A review of West Palaearctic Hoplocampa species, focussing on Sweden (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae).

EF030A01E448FFDA23A4FF2FFDC04289.taxon	description	Hoplocampa minuta forma dudai: This was listed as a synonym of minuta by Taeger et al. (2010). However, the brief original description states [translated from Czech and Latin] that forma dudai is similar to rutilicornis, with a red clypeus, antenna, and legs (apart from the black metacoxa), but that the pronotum and tegulae are black. This character combination falls within the range of variability of fulvicornis, but disagrees with the darker colour pattern of minuta in that the clypeus and most of the legs are pale. Additional description. Body length: 3.5 – 4.0 mm. Clypeus broadly and shallowly emarginate. Tegulae and pronotum completely black, to completely pale. Legs completely pale, except more or less coxae. Female: scape and pedicel pale, flagellum pale to dark. Head capsule except for clypeus and labrum black, or extensively pale so that only an ocellar fleck remains. Mesoscutal lobes and mesoscutellum completely black, or partly pale. Mesepisternum completely black, to completely pale. Abdomen entirely black, including valvula 3, to extensively pale, including valvula 3, with only most of terga 1 – 3 black and medial spots on some following terga. The darkest examined specimens are from Öland, Sweden, and the palest from southern France and Bulgaria. Lancet: Fig. 84. Male: antenna usually completely pale, but basal flagellomeres sometimes fuscous above. Head apart from pale clypeus and labrum completely black, to extensively pale, with black reduced to more or less postocellar area, edges of frontal area, and occiput. Mesoscutal lobes and mesoscutellum completely black. Abdomen black, except for more or less pale subgenital plate (at least apically pale) and harpes. Penis valve: Fig. 102. Total number of specimens examined: 243. Similar species. Could be confused with minuta, cantoti, or chrysorrhoea: see key for distinguishing characters. The lancets of fulvicornis (Fig. 84) and minuta (Fig. 85) are closely similar, and do not seem to offer characters that will enable reliable identification. The lancet of brevis (Fig. 81) resembles these species in its hooked sawteeth, but brevis has rows of ctenidial teeth on ca. annuli 1 – 7, whereas only the ventralmost ctenidial tooth is developed in the other two species. The penis valve of fulvicornis (Fig. 102) is most similar to that of minuta (Fig. 103), but in fulvicornis the distal filament is much longer than the maximal height of the valviceps, whereas shorter than the maximum height in minuta. Also, the valviceps is distally tapered in fulvicornis, but not tapered in minuta. Life history. Host plants: Prunus spinosa is a main larval host, although the association is based on the occurrence of adults, not larvae (e. g. Pschorn-Walcher & Altenhofer 2000). Reports originating in the old literature, frequently repeated in more recent publications, of Hoplocampa fulvicornis feeding in cultivated Prunus species, may have partly arisen through misinterpretation of the species name, or misidentification of fulvicornis sensu Fabricius (= minuta) as what we now understand as fulvicornis (Panzer). On the other hand, Roberti (1948 a) convincingly showed that fulvicornis does attack some plum varieties (P. domestica, P. salicina), at least in southern Italy.

Pro- and mesofemur basally black or entirely pale. Apex of metatibia pale, to indistinctly fuscous. Metatarsus more or less fuscous. Female: antenna black, with flagellum indistinctly reddish ventro-apically. Lancet: Fig. 85. Male: scape and pedicel black, flagellum nearly completely red.

Whereas the lancets of cantoti (Fig. 92) and chrysorrhoea (Fig. 90) have a very different total shape compared to minuta (Fig. 85), the lancet of minuta does not appear to be reliably distinguishable from that of fulvicornis (Fig. 84). The penis valve of minuta (Fig. 103) is most similar to that of fulvicornis (Fig. 102), but in minuta the distal filament is shorter than the maximum height of the valviceps, whereas in fulvicornis it is much longer than the maximal height.

EF030A01E44FFFDF23A4F9BCFCF445A1.taxon	description	Total number of specimens examined: 35. Similar species. Normal, paler coloured plagiata are only likely to be mistaken for chamaemespili: see under the latter, above. The dark form of plagiata (only known from the Massif Central and Pyrenees) might be mistaken for minuta. In cases of doubt, plagiata females can be easily distinguished from all other European Hoplocampa species by the very large and strongly projecting sawteeth (Fig. 88), and the male by the outline of the penis valve (Fig. 107), which resembles only slightly that of the very differently coloured (pale) phantoma. Life history. Host plant: Amelanchier ovalis (Masutti & Covassi 1980, Pschorn-Walcher & Altenhofer 2000). Mentions in the earlier literature of Crataegus as a host (e. g. Enslin 1914) arose through misidentification of crataegi. Aronia, also mentioned by Enslin (1914), probably refers to a synonym, Aronia amelanchier, of Amelanchier ovalis.

EF030A01E44CFFDE23A4FAAFFC8840ED.taxon	description	Additional description. Body length: 2.3 – 3.0 mm (after Muche 1986). Clypeus widely and deeply emarginate. Pale body colour orange-brown. Head largely pale. Dorsum of thorax and abdomen largely black (terga 1 – 8); sides and underside pale except for dark anepimeron. Legs pale except for clearly blackened metatarsi and apices of metatibiae; in female other legs more or less similarly dark. Venation pale, except for slightly darkened base of pterostigma. Female: somewhat darker than the male. Black on head are small patch around ocelli, the postocellar area, and antenna more or less dorsally and apically. Dorsum of thorax entirely dark, except for yellow tegulae and nearly entire pronotum. Apex of valvula 3 darkened. Valvulae 3 in dorsal view less than 2 × as long as basal width. Lancet: Fig. 86. Male: Head entirely pale except for small ocellar fleck. Mesoscutal lobes laterally slightly pale; posterior edge of mesoscutellum somewhat pale. Penis valve: Fig. 104. Total number of specimens examined: 3. Similar species. Externally, the most similar species is crataegi. Males of tadshikistanica are easily distinguished by their darkened metatarsi and apices of metatibiae from crataegi, with completely pale legs. Lancets of these two species are quite similar, but the sawteeth of crataegi (Fig. 79) are more acutely hooked, with a larger number of serrulae. We have not examined tadshikistanica penis valves, but if the drawing by Muche (1986, fig. 1) (reproduced here as Fig. 104) is accurate, then they are clearly different from those of any of the other species which we treat. Life history. Host plant: perhaps Cotoneaster, from which the type series was collected.	en	Liston, Andrew, Prous, Marko, Vårdal, Hege (2019): A review of West Palaearctic Hoplocampa species, focussing on Sweden (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae).

EF030A01E44DFFDE23A4FE6BFB1B4766.taxon	description	Total number of specimens examined: 21. Similar species. Most closely resembles Hoplocampa brevis, with which it shares the same hosts. See under brevis, above. Life history. Host plants: Malus spp., particularly cultivated M. domestica (e. g. Boevé et al. 1996), but also M. sylvestris in semi-natural vegetation types (e. g. Liston, personal observations in southern Scotland). Mentions of M. pumila as a host (e. g. Burgart et al. 2016) seem to involve cultivated varieties more usually referred to as M. domestica. Pyrus communis is apparently a rarely used, secondary host (Stritt 1943). Biology: Miles (1932), Velbinger (1939), Roberti (1948 b), Boevé et al. (1997), Lennartsson (2012).	en	Liston, Andrew, Prous, Marko, Vårdal, Hege (2019): A review of West Palaearctic Hoplocampa species, focussing on Sweden (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae).

EF030A01E44DFFDE23A4FE6BFB1B4766.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Southern, Central and Northern Europe, including the British Isles; North to Denmark, Sweden, and Finland (Taeger et al. 2006), with a single Norwegian record from Oslo (Velbinger 1939); Caucasus (Zhelochovtsev & Zinovjev 1995), Turkey, Transcaucasus, introduced to North America (Lacourt 1999). In contrast to brevis, testudinea reaches higher levels of abundance in cooler, more northern regions (Velbinger 1939). Occurrence in Sweden: published records: Skåne (Thomson 1871, Neupane 2013), Småland (Velbinger 1939), Västmanland (Thomsen 1929), Gästrikland (Gävle, ca. 60.7 ° N) (Lindblom 1938). In recent years, testudinea has caused serious damage to organically-grown apple crops in many countries, including Sweden (Sjöberg et al. 2015). Material examined: Skåne, Östergötland, Uppland.
