  • Tenthredo mordax Konow, 1908 A valid species, Tenthredo (Tenthredella) mordax Konow, 1908. Types. Tenthredo mordax Konow, 1908: 25–26. Syntype (s) ♀, “ Sikkim ”. Lectotype ♀, hereby designated, (MNCN_ Ent 100205, MNCN Cat. Tipos No 8138, Fig. 28, see also http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.762439). Type locality: India, Sikkim. Discussion. There is no indication in the original description, how many specimens Konow had to hand. Very likely it was a single female, which is selected here as lectotype. Apparently, after Konow (1908) nobody examined the type. Malaise (1945) followed only the original description, and Saini (207: 132) claimed that the type should be in the SDEI and is lost. The description given by Saini does not completely agree with the type specimen (e.g., several white marks on head and thorax). Possibly he treated a different species under the name T. mordax. Tenthredo mordax may be placed in the subgenus Tenthredella Rohwer, 1910.
