World Catalog of Symphyta (Hymenoptera) - Abstract, additions and corrections ANDREAS TAEGER, STEPHAN M. BLANK & ANDREW D. LISTON
TAEGER, A.; BLANK, S. M. & LISTON, A. D. 2010: World Catalog of Symphyta (Hymenoptera). - Zootaxa, Auckland 2580: 1-1064 (published 31st August 2010) Abstract The first complete World Catalog of sawflies (Hymenoptera, suborder Symphyta) for over 100 years is presented in vol. 2580 of Zootaxa. It contains references to the original descriptions and provides brief distributional data for 803 genera, 8353 species (123 with two or more subspecies) and 161 subspecies in addition to the nominal subspecies. 15245 proposed names are treated, including replacement names, infrasubspecific names and nomina nuda, of which only 22 could not be checked in the original publications. Current taxonomic placement of genera and species and occurrence in Zoogeographie regions are indicated. The list of names contains 31245 name combinations, variant spellings and family-group names. The authors attempted to consult all publications with taxonomic content referring to Symphyta that have appeared up to 31.12.2009. The 2960 cited references include all those that are known to contain original descriptions of taxa. Short biographical data and portraits of 168 symphytologists are included, as well as images of representatives of extant sawfly taxa on 21 colour plates. Additions and corrections The following data concern overlooked names published until 31.12.2009 or names misspelled by the authors. The style is the same as used in the World Catalog.

The spelling fortunei was introduced by Malaise (1945 £01281:192). This emendation is not justified according to Art. 31.1.2 ICZN (1999).

Both names are based on the same description by Geoffroy (1762 B30607: 276-277, "La Mouche-ä-scie ä deux bandes noires sur le ventre".) Hitherto treated as a synonym of Tenthredo arcuata, which is surely incorrect. Add references: £012967 Jennings, J.T., Austin, A.D. (2009): Rhysacephala masneri sp. n.
