Abstract
Fourteen Hoplocampa species have been recorded in the West Palaearctic. We provide an illustrated key to these species,
together with H. tadshikistanica, which is so far only known from Tadshikistan, but could occur in the West Palaearctic.
The suitability of genetic sequencing for identification, particularly of larvae, is discussed. COI barcoding reliably
distinguishes all European species which have been sampled (only H. phantoma lacks data), except for H. fulvicornis and
H. minuta, which can be identified using nuclear sequences. Distributions in the Fennoscandian countries are outlined,
with particular reference to Sweden. Hoplocampa chrysorrhoea is recorded for the first time in Scandinavia, from
southern Sweden. Lectotypes are designated for twelve nominal taxa: Allantus ferrugineus Panzer, 1802, Hoplocampa
chrysorrhoea var. nigrita Enslin, 1914, H. fabricii W. F. Kirby, 1882, H. oertzeni Konow, 1888, H. pectoralis Thomson,
1871, Hylotoma ferruginea Fabricius, 1804, Tenthredo alpina Zetterstedt, 1838, T. brevis Klug, 1816, T. chrysorrhoea
Klug, 1816, T. crataegi Klug, 1816, T. plagiata Klug, 1816, and T. rutilicornis Klug, 1816. Hoplocampa minuta forma
dudai Gregor, in Gregor & Bata, 1942 is a new synonym of H. fulvicornis (Panzer, 1801).

Introduction
The sawfly genus Hoplocampa Hartig, 1837 contains about 40 described extant species, distributed in the Holarctic
and Oriental Realms (Taeger et al. 2010). Fourteen species were listed for Europe by Taeger et al. (2006). Adults can
be recognised as belonging to the genus using the key to Nematinae genera by Prous et al. (2014). The known life
histories of the species are similar: larvae develop in the fruits of various genera of rosaceous trees and shrubs. Three
of the European species are generally considered to be widespread and significant pests of cultivated fruit crops:
Hoplocampa brevis (pears), H. minuta (plums), and H. testudinea (apples). Hoplocampa flava (plums) has a lesser,
regional importance, mainly in the South. These species have accordingly been rather well-studied, and numerous
publications, particularly on H. testudinea, deal with various aspects of their biology and methods of control. Much
less is known about the species whose larvae feed on hosts which are not of commercial interest to humans. Indeed,
three of the European species were first discovered and described late last century.
Our main objective now is to present an illustrated key to all known West Palaearctic species, while taking into
account the high level of variability in some species. This was not adequately allowed for in previous identification
keys. Our second priority is to clarify which species occur in Fennoscandia, particularly in Sweden.

Registration numbers of specimens, allocated by the NHRS, SDEI, ZMUC and ZSM, are cited in the figure
captions, thus enabling the corresponding collection data to be located in the text (material examined). Under
“Specimens examined” an asterisk (*) indicates that we know of no previous published records from the territory
concerned.
Plant names follow The Plant List (2017). Only a few of the many works which deal with aspects of the biology
of the pest species were selected for citation under ‘Life history’. These are not necessarily the most recent publications, because some of the earlier studies, notably that by Velbinger (1939), have not since been surpassed, either
in their broad scope, or the quality of the original observational and experimental data. Morphological terminology
follows Viitasaari (2002), except for the use of sawtooth instead of serrula, and serrula (plural, serrulae) instead of
denticles (see Malagón-Aldana et al. 2017).
Genitalia were macerated in 10–15% KOH for four to five hours before being mounted temporarily in glycerine
on glass slides for photography. Alternatively, they were cleared in proteinase during DNA extraction. After photography, the dissected parts were gummed with Berlese fluid to a card fixed to the specimen’s pin.

Photos were taken at the SDEI with a Leica DFC295 digital camera and Olympus SZX12 microscope. Composite images with an extended depth of field were created from stacks of images using the software CombineZP, and
finally arranged and partly enhanced with Ulead PhotoImpact X3.
To estimate phylogenetic relationships between Hoplocampa species, we used sequences of three gene fragments, one mitochondrial (COI) and two nuclear (NaK, TRRAP), which were sequenced as described by Prous et
al. (submitted). For mitochondrial COI barcode data, minimal p-distances (proportion of differences) between BIN
(Barcode Index Number) clusters and maximal distances within BIN clusters were taken from BOLD BIN database
(http://www.boldsystems.org/). Some of the COI barcode sequences used here were obtained from BOLD. In such
cases, DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and sequencing were conducted at the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding (CCDB) in Guelph, Canada, using standardised high-throughput protocols (Ivanova et al. 2006, deWaard et
al. 2008; available online under www.ccdb.ca/resources). DNA aliquots of SDEI vouchers are deposited in the DNA
storage facility of the SDEI (including those that were originally extracted at the CCDB). For phylogenetic analyses
we used the maximum likelihood method (ML) implemented in IQ-TREE 1.5.6 (http://www.iqtree.org/ ) (Nguyen
et al. 2015). By default, IQ-TREE runs ModelFinder (Kalyaanamoorthy et al. 2017) to find the best-fit substitution
model and then reconstructs the tree using the model selected according to Bayesian information criterion (BIC). We
complemented this default option with SH-like approximate likelihood ratio (SH-aLRT) test (Guindon et al. 2010)
and ultrafast bootstrap (Hoang et al. 2017) with 1000 replicates to estimate robustness of reconstructed splits.
Results
Character assessment. Genetic data. During the past few years, genetic data (mainly COI barcodes) for all but
one of the European Hoplocampa species have become available (Fig. 1). These may be used for identification of
specimens, and for taxonomic purposes. The barcode clusters (Barcode Index Number Uniform Resource Identifier,
i.e. BINs in BOLD Systems, http://www.boldsystems.org/) were used as support for the association of specimens
to the species. None of the European species falls in more than one BIN, and only two species share the same BIN:
fulvicornis and minuta. Note that the latter two taxa, however, exhibit differences in their nuclear genes that will
enable identification (Fig. 2). For all other species, interspecific differences in COI barcodes are rather large, compared with many other groups of Nematinae (see Schmidt et al. 2017). Some further genetic sampling to cover a
greater geographic range would be desirable, particularly for brevis (sequenced specimens are only from two Mediterranean islands, and Bulgaria). An effort should also be made to obtain fresh phantoma, the only European species
still lacking sequence data. Worth noting is the presence of two copies of a nuclear gene POL2 (DNA dependent
RNA polymerase II subunit RPB1) in Hoplocampa and possibly in Monocellicampa Wei, 1998 that are clearly distinguishable at the amino acid level. Although we could not separate or sequence both of the copies for most of the
specimens with the available primers (Prous et al. submitted) they are sufficiently similar at the nucleotide level to
form a strongly supported monophyletic group within Nematinae (not shown). At the amino acid level, one of the
copies is hardly different from other Nematinae (maximum distance 1.1%), or even Tenthredinoidea (Neodiprion
lecontei, GenBank accession XP_015520928, is only 0.6% different), while the minimum distance between the
copies is 3.5%. The more divergent copy can be considered to be a Hoplocampa specific paralog, while the less
divergent one seems to be a genuine ortholog that could still be used in phylogenetic analyses, although that would
require cloning or additional sequencing with high-throughput methods. Because of the difficulties separating two
copies using Sanger sequencing or preferential amplification of the paralog instead of the ortholog, we did not use
POL2 for Hoplocampa. Instead we used transformation/transcription domain-associated protein (TRRAP) that in
Hymenoptera has about 9100 bp exon, although we amplified only a 3379 bp fragment in two parts (Prous et al.
submitted).
Genitalia. The penis valves of the males of most species are highly characteristic, and may be used for identification, if assessment of other characters leaves doubt as to their identity. Interspecific variability in the degree of
sclerotisation is pronounced, ranging from hardly sclerotised at all (e.g. phantoma, Figs 98–99), to highly sclerotised (e.g. flava, Fig. 100; testudinea, Fig. 106). In several species, the valviceps is extended dorsally as a very delicate lobe (e.g. Figs 94, 95, 98). The lobe may easily be disrupted or destroyed during preparation of the genitalia, or
by excessive maceration in KOH (compare Figs 98 and 99: penis valves of the same specimen of phantoma). Some
existing illustrations of Hoplocampa penis valves omit this lobe, which can be misleading. Species with otherwise

similar penis valves can sometimes easily be distinguished by the shape and length of a projection on the valviceps
apex, e.g. fulvicornis (Fig. 102) and minuta (Fig. 103), or with more difficulty by the arrangement of a cluster of
conspicuous setae on the valviceps apex, e.g. alpina (Fig. 94) and ariae (Fig. 96).
Interspecific differences in the morphology of the lancets of females are sometimes also evident, but are frequently not so pronounced as in the male genitalia. For example, the lancets of fulvicornis (Fig. 84) and minuta
(Fig. 85) are so similar, that they are practically indistinguishable. This evaluation corresponds with that published
by Ross (1943) for the Nearctic species. Hoplocampa chrysorrhoea (Figs 90–91) and cantoti (Figs 92–93) share the
same type of lancet, which differs conspicuously (in concordance with genetic data: Figs 1, 2) from those of all other
West Palaearctic species in being very narrow relative to its length, with the basal annuli poorly defined, so that the
radix is apparently very long, and sawteeth are only present on the extreme apex. The shape of the sawteeth can
be used to identify some of the other species. Those of plagiata (Fig. 88), for example, are very large and strongly
protruding (on middle and apex of lancet about as high as long) compared to all other European species. Also useful
is the presence or absence of ctenidial teeth, and their position or shape. Ctenidial teeth are very minute and easily
overlooked in cantoti (Figs 92–93) and chrysorrhoea (Figs 90–91), and not developed at all in pectoralis (Fig. 89).
In particular, the size and position of the most ventral ctenidial tooth (see Fig. 77, arrow), called a “spurette” by
Ross (1943), is useful in distinguishing some species with otherwise similar lancets, e.g. alpina (Fig. 77) and ariae
(Fig. 78).
Colour. Ross (1943) concluded that colour characters are useful for determining only a small number of Nearctic Hoplocampa species. By contrast, as can be seen from our identification key, determination of the majority of
European specimens is possible using only colour characters. However, although colour patterns are rather stable in
most species, wide variability in body coloration is particularly evident in crataegi and fulvicornis. In both of these,
there is a clear tendency towards darker coloration in the more northern parts of their range, whereas specimens
from the South can be extremely pale. Local populations in southern Europe of some other species, notably plagiata
from the Massif Central and Pyrenees, and crataegi from Sicily, contain individuals which are completely atypically
coloured. Although allowance for this variability has been made in the key, it seems likely that further similar cases
still await discovery. Intraspecific variability in Central and northern European populations is apparently much
smaller. Sexual dimorphism in coloration ranges from very slight (e.g. testudinea, Figs 11–14) to moderate (e.g.
chrysorrhoea, with the thorax more extensively yellow in the male, Figs 15–16).
Larvae. The larvae of some species have not been described, or only very superficially, i.e. ariae, cantoti,
chamaemespili, chrysorrhoea, pectoralis, and phantoma. The known larvae have a similar general appearance (Figs
3–4): head clearly longitudinally flattened, yellow to brown; antenna four-segmented, conical; the body pale (white
or yellowish) and largely unpigmented, except for parts of the legs, and more or less the dorsum of the distal abdominal terga; 3rd abdominal segment with 5 dorsal annulets, 3 and 4 [see Vikberg & Nuorteva (1997) on correct
notation] with setae; the 7 pairs of abdominal prolegs (as in other Nematinae) are relatively well-developed; pseudocerci absent [character states adapted largely from Lorenz & Kraus (1957)]. Species differ mainly in details of
setation. Lorenz & Kraus (1957) provided a key to larvae of three species, and summarised what was known up to
that date, but overlooked the detailed descriptions and comparisons of brevis and testudinea by Velbinger (1939)
(see below, under brevis). From the foregoing, it is clear that morphological identification of larvae to species level
is problematic. However, COI barcoding can be recommended for definite identification of the larvae of most of the
European species (see above: Genetic data).
Host specificity. The host plant ranges of the West Palaearctic taxa, as far as at present known (Table 1), can
be classified according to the definitions given by Viitasaari (2002) as ranging from 1st grade monophagous (e.g.
alpina, chamaemespili, plagiata; each on a single host plant species), through 3rd grade monophagous (e.g. flava: on
many species of the same genus), to 1st grade oligophagous (e.g. brevis, testudinea; each on both Malus and Pyrus).
In other words, host plant association can be a useful identification character; but one should be cautious before
inferring such an association merely because adults were collected from inflorescences of a particular plant species
(see also below under Life history: general).

Phylogenetic analyses. Because H. fulvicornis and H. minuta could not be separated based on mitochondrial
barcode sequences (which can be identical between these two species), we sequenced two nuclear genes to test
monophyly of these species. For comparison, additional Hoplocampa species were sequenced to provide further
phylogenies estimated from mitochondrial and nuclear sequences. Although nuclear data is missing for some species due to a lack of fresh samples, a mitochondrial COI tree (Fig. 1) and a nuclear tree (based on NaK and TRRAP;
Fig. 2) are largely congruent with regard to well supported relationships. The Hoplocampa chrysorrhoea-H. cantoti clade appears to be the sister group to other sequenced species (Figs 1, 2). Hoplocampa alpina, H. crataegi,
H. ariae, and H. chamaemespili (for the latter two species only COI barcodes are available) form a monophyletic
group (Figs 1, 2), which is also supported by penis valve characters. Nuclear and mitochondrial data (as well as
morphological) all indicate that H. fulvicornis and H. minuta are closely related, but COI does not support reciprocal monophyly of these species (Fig. 1), contrary to nuclear data (Fig. 2). Both nuclear genes support monophyly
of H. fulvicornis and H. minuta, although this is more evident based on TRRAP (divergence between the species
0.7–1.2%) than NaK (0.4%).
Life history: general. The behaviour of adults and larvae, as far as is known, is quite similar in the European
species. Oviposition is in the calyx of flowers of various genera of shrubs and trees of the Rosaceae (Miles et al.
1933, Roitberg & Prokopy 1980). For all species, the limited seasonal availability of flowers of the host entails
a rather short period of adult activity, and a univoltine life cycle. Miles (1932) observed that adults of testudinea
usually lived for 6–9 days. The young larva bores into the developing fruit, and eats a cavity in the centre, thereby
destroying the seeds. Young larvae of testudinea differ from the other W. Palaearctic species, in that they feed in
a tunnel just under the epidermis of the fruit (Fig. 5), before they bore into the centre (Fig. 6). Probably in all species, if a single fruit is insufficient for complete development of a larva, it moves to a new fruit. In this way, species
such as minuta, which inhabits smaller fruits, may move 4 or 5 times (Sprengel 1930b). Even testudinea and brevis
larvae, whose hosts have larger fruits, normally move at least once to a new fruit (Miles 1932). If population levels
are high, several larvae may enter the same fruit, which is thus quickly eaten out. Consequently, a greater number of
fruits are fed on by each larva in such cases (Sprengel 1930b). The ability of the larvae to change their feeding site

is unusual among endophytic Symphyta, and is otherwise only known in the West Palaearctic sawfly fauna in the
leaf-mining nematine genus Pseudodineura. The time taken for development of the immature stages is highly variable, even within the same species, and largely dependent on temperature: Miles (1932) gave the duration of the egg
stage of testudinea as 8–15 days, and of larval development as 4–6 weeks. The fully-fed larvae spin parchment-like
cocoons in the soil, in which they hibernate as quiescent larvae, until pupating shortly before emergence. Prolonged
diapause, of up to three winters, has been reported by several authors for minuta and testudinea (Hadzistevic 1959,
Tamosiunas et al. 2014). This is presumed to be an adaptation against the risk to a population’s survival in years
when very few or no fruits develop, e.g. as a result of late frosts.
It is not clear if the stage of development of the host’s flowers affects the success of oviposition or larval development. Sprengel (1930b) observed that minuta oviposited into open and unopened flowers, apparently without
preference. On the other hand, adult alpina are most frequently found on inflorescences which are fully open,
shortly before their petals fall (observations by first author). The other extreme, of ovipositing only into very young,
unopened flowers, might occur in chrysorrhoea (see Species treatments). Note that adults of several species frequently visit inflorescences of plants which are probably not hosts, particularly other species of woody Rosaceae
growing near the real hosts: see, for example, Miles (1936) and Velbinger (1947).
In most Hoplocampa species which have been better studied, i.e. the “pests”, the sex-ratio has generally been
observed to be close to 1:1, with a slight bias towards females (e.g. Tamosiunas et al. 2014). Among the West
Palaearctic species, brevis is clearly exceptional in being normally (or entirely?) parthenogenetic. Possibly chrysorrhoea is also at least regionally parthenogenetic. The sex-ratio of alpina in collections suggests that males are
not abundant, but the total number studied is not large, and the apparent imbalance is possibly caused by sampling
bias.

Key to West Palaearctic Hoplocampa species (imagines)
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).

Hoplocampa alpina (Zetterstedt, 1838)
Selandria pallida Newman, 1837: 262. Lectotype ♀, designated by Liston & Prous (2014: 88, DEI-GISHym19995), examined,
in OUMNH. Type locality: no data [United Kingdom?]. Secondary homonym of Tenthredo pallida Serville, 1823 (= Hoplocampa flava). Placed as a synonym of alpina by Liston & Prous (2014).
Tenthredo alpina Zetterstedt, 1838: 339; Syntypes ♀♂, lectotype ♀ here designated (DEI-GISHym15883, images: https://doi.
org/10.6084/m9.figshare.4755037), in MZLU. Type locality: Norway, Gamstenstind (see Greve 1986). Paralectotypes: 1 ♀
2 ♂ same data as the lectotype, in MZLU (♂, DEI-GISHym15882, https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.4756771).
Additional description. Body length: 3.5–5.5mm. Clypeus narrowly and deeply emarginate. Pale colour milkywhite. Female: valvula 3 and valvifer 2 combined length ca 0.79–0.97 as long as metafemur without trochantellus.
The following may be more or less fuscous, or black: upperside of antennal flagellum, anterior of median mesoscutal
lobe, interior mesopostnotum, tarsi. Lancet: Fig. 77. Male: the following may be more or less fuscous, or black:
anterior of median mesoscutal lobe, interior mesopostnotum, metapostnotum, narrow basal and apical margins of
abdominal terga 1–3. Penis valve: Fig. 94.
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.

Hoplocampa ariae Benson, 1933
Hoplocampa (Hoplocampa) ariae Benson, 1933: 255–256. Holotype ♀, not examined, in BMNH. Type locality: England, Surrey, Box Hill.
Additional description. Body length: 4.5–6.5mm. Clypeus narrowly and deeply emarginate. Pale colour creamywhite to testaceous. Female: the following may be more or less fuscous, or black: antenna above, sunken parts of
meso- and metapostnotum, tarsi, apex of metatibia, apex of valvula 3. Lancet: Fig. 78. Male: the following may be
more or less fuscous, or black: anterior of median mesoscutal lobe, meso- and metapostnotum, tarsi, apex of metatibia, basal and apical margins of abdominal terga 1–3, sometimes also a spot in middle of these terga, and a small
lateral spot each side. Penis valve: Fig. 96.
Total number of specimens examined: 10.
Similar species. Most similar are Hoplocampa alpina and phantoma (see key, and under alpina). Very pale
specimens of crataegi, from southern Europe, are also similar, but in crataegi the radius is darker than the other
venation, whereas in ariae and alpina all venation is equally pale. The lancet of ariae (Fig. 78) is closely similar to
that of alpina (Fig. 77) and crataegi (Fig. 79), but the ventralmost ctenidial tooth on the middle annuli is situated
more dorsally in ariae than in alpina. The most reliable difference between the lancets of ariae and phantoma is the
presence of ctenidial teeth on annular sutures ca. 1–3 in the former, and on ca. 1–7 in the latter. The penis valves of
ariae (Fig. 96) and phantoma (Figs 98–99) are clearly different in overall shape, and ariae has a group of long setae
on the apex of the valviceps, which are absent in phantoma. The penis valves of ariae and alpina (Fig. 94) are also
similar, but ariae has a more obtuse valviceps apex and larger group of apical setae, which are also longer.
Life history. Host plant: Sorbus aria (Pschorn-Walcher & Altenhofer 2000).
Distribution. Central Europe, England and Ireland (Taeger et al. 2006). Occurrence in Sweden: no records,
but might occur on naturalised Sorbus aria, or potentially on the related, native S. intermedia, S. rupicola, or S.
norvegica.

Tenthredo pyri Vallot, 1848: 203. Syntypes, larvae, by indication on Réaumur (1736: 476), lost. Type locality: France. Listed in
synonymy of brevis by Taeger et al. (2010: 407).
Additional description. Body length: 5.0–5.5mm. Clypeus narrowly and deeply emarginate. Pale body colour orange-brown. Antenna mainly pale, more or less blackened basally and above. Head capsule pale, except for suture
between clypeus and supraclypeal area, dorsal tentorial macula, postocellar furrows, postoccipital groove, and more
or less narrowly around each ocellus. Wing venation partly pale, particularly M+Cu. Costa and radius of fore wing
fuscous, except for bases. Mesoscutum more or less black, with pale posterior parts of median lobe and interior of
lateral lobe. Mesoscutellum and appendage more or less pale. Coxae basally black-edged. More northern specimens
usually with longitudinal black stripe on metacoxa. Femora and tibiae entirely pale. Tarsi pale to slightly fuscous.

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

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).
Distribution. Southern and Central Europe, England (Taeger et al. 2006), north to southern Sweden (Jensen
2013), North Africa (Tunisia) (Wafa & Mars 2008), Caucasus (Zhelochovtsev & Zinovjev 1995), Jordan (Al-Qura’n
2008), Iran (Davoudi 1987), introduced to North America (Lacourt 1999). In contrast to testudinea, brevis reaches
higher levels of abundance in warmer, more southern regions (Velbinger 1939).
Occurrence in Sweden: published records: Småland (Thomson 1871). According to Jensen (2013): “not very
abundant in zones III and IV” [refers to the classification of cultivation zones, of which these two are represented
from southern Sweden north to about Sundsvall (Svensk Trädgård Riksförbundet 2017)]. Material examined: Småland, Östergötland.

Hoplocampa cantoti Chevin, 1986
Hoplocampa cantoti Chevin, 1986: 21–23. Holotype ♀, not examined, in CBGP. Type locality: France, Eure-et-Loir, forêt de
Dreux.
Additional description. Body length: 3.5mm. Clypeus broadly and shallowly emarginate. Female: Scape and pedicel black, underside of flagellum reddish. More or less gena, malar space and supraclypeal area pale (whitish).
Metacoxa black with ventro-apical edge pale. Trochanters and femora entirely reddish. Valvula 3 black. The Swiss
and Bulgarian specimens have pronotum, tegulae, and abdomen entirely black, whereas in the French specimens
[according to original description] tegulae and posterior angles of pronotum are reddish, and underside of abdomen
slightly reddish. Lancet: Figs 92–93. Male: unknown.
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. However, 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.

Trento e Verona, Bolzano, Belluno, Pordenone, and Udine): Masutti & Covassi (1980) and records below. So far
only found in the upper montane and subalpine zones, between approximately 1400–1900. Schedl (2017) published
a record under the name chamaemespili of a female and male, illustrated with dorsal habitus images of both specimens, from Austria, Carinthia, Dobratsch, Schüttenwald, 700–900m. These specimens are H. plagiata, based on his

Additional description. Body length: 3.5–4.5mm. Clypeus broadly and shallowly emarginate. Female: malar
space, clypeus and labrum more or less pale (whitish). Scape and pedicel black, flagellum ventrally more or
less pale. Pronotum black except sometimes for narrow posterior angles. Mesepisternum entirely black. [Smith
(1982) examined specimens from Israel with “the pronotum and much of the mesopleura pale orange”] Yellow
are: all abdominal sterna, terga 9 and 10, as well as lateral, downturned margins of all other terga. Valvula 3 black.
Lancet: Figs 90–91. Male: gena, malar space, supraclypeal area, clypeus and labrum pale (whitish). Scape pale,
pedicel black, flagellum ventrally more or less pale. Approximately posterior half of pronotum pale. Mesepisternum mainly yellow. [Smith (1982) noted that males from Israel had the pronotum and entire mesopleura yellow]
Terga 1–8 black, except for lateral, downturned parts. Rest of abdomen yellow, including the harpes. Penis valve:
Fig. 101.
Total number of specimens examined: 138.
Similar species. On external characters, could be confused with minuta, cantoti, or fulvicornis: see key. 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.
Distribution. Widespread in southern and central Europe, including the British mainland, North to Denmark
(Taeger et al. 2006), East to Cyprus and Israel (Lacourt 1999), and also in North Africa (Morocco, Middle Atlas:

Additional description. Body length: 3.5–5.5mm. Clypeus narrowly and deeply emarginate. Pale body colour
yellowish. Fore wing costa and M+Cu similarly coloured, and paler than Sc+R. Female: antennal flagellum
completely black. Pedicel and/or scape partly or wholly pale [except in Sicily]. In Central and North European
specimens, mesonotum usually entirely black, except for yellow posterior edge of mesoscutellum [but in Sicily
completely black], and sometimes minute spots on lateral mesoscutal lobes, and head capsule with ocellar area

southern Europe (e.g. Portugal, France, Cyprus) may have mesonotum and head capsule nearly entirely pale.
Furthermore, whereas northern and central European specimens have apical 0.5–0.7 of metatibia blackish on all
surfaces, contrasting with completely pale yellow base, the metatibia of some southern females (Portugal, Sicily,
Cyprus) is completely pale. Valvulae 3 in dorsal view less than 2 × as long as basal width, tapering increasingly

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.
Distribution. Southern and Central Europe, including Britain and Ireland; North to Denmark (Taeger et
al. 2006) and southern Sweden; Turkey, Morocco (Lacourt 1999), and Caucasus (Zhelochovtsev & Zinovjev
1995).

Taxonomy. Allantus ferrugineus Panzer, Hylotoma ferruginea Fabricius, and Tenthredo (Allantus) brunnea Klug:
Klug (1816) replaced the Fabricius’ name because of secondary homonymy:
“Die Benennung Panzers, von welchem Fabricius diese Art, die er nachher so undeutlich und mangelhaft
beschreibt, erhielt, mußte deshalb geändert werden, weil schon Schrank, (enum. p. 326 n. 656) eine Tenthredo
ferruginea aufführt.“ He subsequently emphasised his reasoning (Klug 1819: 72): „Der Name T. ferruginea ist
von mir in T. brunnea umgeändert worden weil Schrank schon früher als Fabricius eine T. ferruginea beschrieben
hat.“
Therefore, the specimens in Klug’s collection cannot be considered to be types. Furthermore, because Panzer’s description is obviously based on the same material as Fabricius’ species, all three names are objective
synonyms.
Hylotoma simplex: Three specimens, two females and one male, are in the Fallén Collection (MZLU) under
the name Phyllotoma simplex. Either of the females might be the holotype. One is without any label, the other
has a label similar to that of the male. The male specimen, which was described later by Fallén (1829), belongs to
crataegi. We consider the female specimen, until now without any labels, to be the holotype of simplex, because

the female and male standing under the name are very similarly labelled, and therefore probably collected at
nearly the same time (later than the holotype).
Additional description. Body length: 3.5–5.5mm. Clypeus narrowly and deeply emarginate. Pale body colour yellowish. Antenna completely pale. Base of procoxa and margins of propleuron black-edged. Legs entirely
pale, apart from bases of coxae. Metanontum black, except for pale metascutellum. Venation entirely pale yellowish, except for darkened base of fore wing pterostigma. Female: Head capsule completely pale except for
postoccipital groove, and more or less dorsal tentorial macula and anterior tentorial pit. Mesonotum completely
pale. Valvula 3 pale. Lancet: Fig. 83. Male: Small black patch between ocelli, more or less extending anteriorly
along edges of frontal field. Median and lateral mesocutal lobes partly black. Penis valve: Fig. 100. Note that the
curvature of the filament is highly variable in prepared specimens.
Total number of specimens examined: 38.
Similar species. The wing colour should separate Hoplocampa flava from all other European species, but
when this cannot be clearly seen (as often in old, faded specimens) it is most likely to be misidentified as crataegi. In direct comparison, they may be separated thus:

Life history. Host plants: Prunus spinosa and P. domestica are main hosts (Pschorn-Walcher & Altenhofer
2000). In southern Europe Prunus armeniaca and P. salicina are also affected (Roberti 1947, Perju et al. 1995).
Prunus avium is an infrequent, probably secondary host (Velbinger 1947). A possible association with P. cerasus,
mentioned as a host in earlier literature, needs confirmation (Sprengel 1930a). Biology: Sprengel (1930b), Miles
et al. (1933), Roberti (1947), Boevé et al. (1997).

Hoplocampa prunicola Benson, 1968: 201. Holotype ♀, not examined, in BMNH. Type locality: Izmit (Turkey). Synonymy
by Chevin (1986: 21).
Taxonomy. Hoplocampa fulvicornis (Panzer, 1801): Two male specimens in ZMUC, with handwritten labels
“fulvicornis”, were apparently sent by Panzer to Fabricius. They are both H. minuta (Christ), and cannot be considered to be types of fulvicornis Panzer, because they disagree with the original description of that species in
having black metafemora bases (“Pedes omnes flavi” in fulvicornis), and a black subgenital plate (“Abdomen [..]
ano rufo”). Klug (1816) apparently intended to replace Panzer’s name. On p. 54, under his Tenthredo (Allantus)
rutilicornis, Klug mentioned Panzer’s T. fulvicornis, and on p. 61 he used the younger name fulvicornis Fabricius
as the valid name for what is now called H. minuta. However, an explicit statement that the name rutilicornis is a
replacement name (as in brunnea: see under H. flava), is missing. Taeger & Blank (1998) re-established Panzer’s
name.
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: 3.5–4.0mm. 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,
WEST PALAEARCTIC HOPLOCAMPA SPECIES

19
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 (1948a) convincingly showed that fulvicornis does attack some plum varieties (P. domestica, P. salicina), at least in southern
Italy. Biology: Roberti (1948a).
Distribution. Southern, Central and Northern Europe, including the British Isles; North to Denmark, Estonia (Taeger et al. 2006), and Finland (Paukkunen et al. 2009); Turkey (Benson 1968). Published information on
“fulvicornis” as a pest of Prunus salicina in China refers to the two described Monocellicampa species (Liu et
al. 2017).

Hoplocampa fulvicornis auct., nec Panzer
Additional description. Body length: 4.0–5.0mm. Clypeus broadly and shallowly emarginate. Thorax black,
including pronotum and tegula. 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. Harpes from
completely black, to ventrally and dorsoapically partly pale. Penis valve: Fig. 103.
Total number of specimens examined: 73.
Similar species. On external characters could be confused with fulvicornis, cantoti, or chrysorrhoea: see key.
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. Also, the valviceps is distally tapered in fulvicornis, but not tapered in minuta.
Life history. Host plants: Cultivated Prunus spp., particularly P. domestica (Pschorn-Walcher & Altenhofer
2000) and P. salicina (Roberti 1952), less often P. avium (Velbinger 1947). In southern Europe P. armeniaca is
affected (Fintzescov 1921, Perju et al. 1995). Records of H. minuta on Pyrus in Japan refer to H. pyricola Rohwer, 1924 (Velbinger 1944). Biology: Sprengel (1930b), Miles et al. (1933), Ahlberg (1940), Roberti (1952),
Bernard (1952).
Distribution. Southern, central and northern Europe, excluding the British Isles, and north to Denmark,
Estonia (Taeger et al. 2006) and Norway (Jaastad et al. 2007); Caucasus, and Uzbekistan (Zhelochovtsev &
Zinovjev 1995).

Paralectotype ♀ (GBIF-GISHym3805), in SDEI. Synonymy by Enslin (1914: 247).
Additional description. Body length: 3.0–5.0mm. Clypeus narrowly and deeply emarginate. Pale body colour
yellowish. Fore wing costa and Sc+R similarly coloured, and darker than M+Cu. Female: Antennal flagellum
entirely black (most northern and central European specimens), or more or less pale below (most southern European specimens); scape and pedicel more or less fuscous above, pale below. Upper head mainly black, usually
with a pair of pale flecks anterior of ocelli, and outer orbits more or less pale. Whole occiput dark. Tegula and
pronotum except extreme anterior yellow. Coxae usually completely yellow, rarely black-flecked. Abdominal
terga and sterna from completely yellow except for black base of tergum 1, to extensively black on terga 1–4(–5).
Sterna usually completely yellow, but rarely extensively fuscous. Even in darkest specimens, downturned edges
of all terga remain pale. Valvulae 3 in dorsal view more than 2 × as long as basal width, gradually tapering; black.
Lancet: Fig. 89. Male: Antennal flagellum largely pale, basal flagellomeres more or less fuscous above; scape
and pedicel entirely pale. Head capsule entirely pale except for a contiguous patch around ocelli, postocellar area,
and area of occiput directly behind this. Legs completely yellow. Medial area of only tergum 1 black, or a distally
tapering black vitta reaching maximally to tergum 7. Penis valve: Fig. 105.
Total number of specimens examined: 37.
Similar species. See under crataegi, above.
Life history. Host plants: Crataegus spp. (Pschorn-Walcher & Altenhofer 2000). Liston (2007) thought that
pectoralis is attached to C. laevigata, rather than C. monogyna, but this was based only on observations on visits
by adults to the respective inflorescences.
Distribution. Southern and Central Europe, including the British Isles; North to Denmark, and S. Sweden
(Taeger et al. 2006); Caucasus (Zhelochovtsev & Zinovjev 1995), Transcaucasus, N. Iran, Siberia (Lacourt 1999).
A record from Sicily (Liston et al. 2013) resulted from the misidentification of an unusually coloured female of
crataegi (see key, and under treatment of H. crataegi).

Hoplocampa phantoma Zinovjev, 1993
Hoplocampa phantoma Zinovjev, 1993: 31–33. Holotype ♀, not examined, in ZISP. Type locality: Russia [Far East],
Khabarovsk Terr., Khekhtsir, 24 km S Khabarovsk.
Note. The characters in the key, and our illustrations, are from specimens collected in the Russian Far East. According to Zinovjev (1993), the specimens from Sverdlovsk oblast [W. Palaearctic] differ from Far Eastern ones,
in having a shorter ovipositor (the lower end of the range given below), and slight [unspecified] differences in
the male genitalia.
Additional description. Body length: 3.3–3.8mm. Clypeus narrowly and deeply emarginate. Pale body colour yellowish. Female: Valvula 3 and valvifer 2 combined length in lateral view 1.03–1.31 as long as metafemur
without trochantellus. Lancet: Fig. 80. Male: penis valve: Figs 98–99.
Total number of specimens examined: 9.
Similar species. Superficially similar to alpina, especially in coloration, from which it is externally distinguishable only in the female sex: see key. The lancet of phantoma (Fig. 80) is narrower in relation to its length
than that of alpina (Fig. 77), and phantoma has rows of ctenidial teeth on annuli ca. 1–7 (alpina: rows of teeth
only on basal 2–3 annuli). The penis valve of phantoma (Figs 97–98) differs markedly in the profile of the valviceps and some details, such as the gap in the dorsal sclerotised strut just anterior of the valviceps apex, from all
other West Palaearctic Hoplocampa species.
Life history. Host plants: unknown, but Zinovjev (1993) considered that these could be Sorbus species; perhaps S. sibirica in the Urals, and S. amurensis in the Far East.
Distribution. Russia. Northern Urals (Sverdlovsk oblast), and the Far East (Zinovjev 1993).
Occurrence in Sweden: not recorded, and not expected.
Specimens examined. Russia: Primorskiy Kray; 8♀ (DEI-GISHym83552) 1♂ (DEI-GISHym83553), Samarka 70 km N, Chuguyevka, Gordeyevskaya Mt., +44.76667°N +134.21667°E, 29.05.1993, leg. A. Taeger

Hoplocampa plagiata (Klug, 1816)
Tenthredo (Allantus) plagiata Klug, 1816: 56. Syntypes ♀♂, Wien, lectotype ♀ here designated (DEI-GISHym2448, images: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.7837937.v1), in ZMHUB. Type locality: Vienna (Austria). Paralectotypes: 4♀
(DEI-GISHym2449–2452), in ZMHUB.
Additional description. Body length: 4.5–5.5mm. Clypeus narrowly and deeply emarginate. Lancet: Fig. 88.
Penis valve: Fig. 107. Normal colour pattern [all specimens except some from France]: Pale body colour orangebrown. Mesoscutellar appendage at least pale in middle. Metatibia largely pale with obscurely fuscous apex,
to extensively fuscous. Tarsi pale, to more or less fuscous. Fore wing pterostigma unicolorous pale. Female:
Antenna mainly black, more or less pale apically and ventrally. Occiput largely pale, except around foramen

terga 1–4(–6). Valvula 3 basally pale, apically black. Male: Antenna largely pale, basal antennomeres sometimes
slightly fuscous above. Dorsum of terga 1–4(–8) with black vitta, progressively interrupted distally. Colour pat-

tern of dark form [only known from France: Massif Central and Pyrenees]: Female. The darkest specimen examined has head black, except for pale labrum, clypeus and genae, and obscurely brown orbits and temples. Thorax
entirely black; all legs nearly completely suffused with black. At least terga 9 and 10 pale. Male. The darkest
specimen examined is markedly paler than the darkest female. Head with large dark fleck from post-ocellar area
to around toruli, contiguous with dark occiput. Mesoscutal lobes partly pale, and posterior of mesoscutellum;
mesepisternum largely black, with ventral part pale. Femora entirely pale; tibiae largely pale. Abdomen mainly
black, with apical terga and sterna more or less pale.
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. Biology: Masutti & Covassi (1978).
Distribution. Central Europe (Taeger et al. 2006), the Iberian Peninsula (see below), and Caucasus (Zhelochovtsev & Zinovjev 1995), from lowland altitudes (e.g. Vienna Basin) to around the tree-line in the Alps; not in
the British Isles.

Hoplocampa tadshikistanica Muche, 1986
Hoplocampa tadshikistanica Muche, 1986: 195–196. Holotype ♂, examined, GBIF-GISHym2445, in ZMHUB. Type locality: Tadshik SSR, Hissar Mountains, Romit Gorge.
Note. A slide preparation of two lancets and a lance, with the handwritten inscription by Muche “Hoplocampa
tadshikistanica Muche Holotypus ♀” and a printed label “GBIF-GISHym2445” obviously does not belong to the
male holotype.
Additional description. Body length: 2.3–3.0mm (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.
Distribution. Tadshikistan (only known from the type series).
Specimens examined. Tadshikistan: 1♀ (DEI-GISHym31786) 1♂ (DEI-GISHym31787), Hissar Mts, Romit
Gorge, 1600m asl, 14.05.1985, leg. W. H. Muche (ZMHUB).
Hoplocampa testudinea (Klug, 1816)
Tenthredo (Allantus) testudinea Klug, 1816: 60. Holotype “♀” (recte ♂, GBIF-GISHym2459 https://doi.org/10.6084/
m9.figshare.4772152), in ZMHUB. Type locality: Gartz (Germany).
Additional description. Body length: 6.0–8.0mm. Clypeus narrowly and deeply emarginate. Pale body colour
orange-brown. Wing venation black, except for extreme bases of wings, and pale pterostigma apex. Legs entirely
pale. Female: Valvula 3 black. Lancet: Fig. 87. Male: penis valve: Fig. 106.
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 (1948b), Boevé et al. (1997), Lennartsson (2012).
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.
Specimens examined. Germany: 9♀ 7♂, 01.05–16.06; Baden-Wuerttemberg; Bavaria; Brandenburg
(DEI-GISHym11132, 31790); Mecklenburg-Vorpommern; Saxony (SDEI, ZSM). *Greece: 1♀ 1♂ (DEI-GISHym83547), Platania, Volos, 350 m asl, +39.80000°N +23.16000°E, 21.04.2010 and 17.04.2010, leg. K.

Nominal taxa removed from Hoplocampa
Tomostethus testaceus Niezabitowski, 1899, species incertae sedis. This was treated as a synonym of Hoplocampa flava by Taeger et al. (2010), following the tentative synonymy by Konow (1905). However, the described
wing venation (“Nervus discoidalis nervo recurrenti primo paralellus. Alae posteriores cellula discoidali non occlusa.”) disagrees with that of Nematinae.

Discussion
The taxonomy of the European Hoplocampa species currently seems to be quite clear, despite the lack of genetic sequence data for a single species, phantoma. On the other hand, a number of knowledge gaps and unclarities pertain
to the host plant spectra of some species, for example:
-
-
-
The identities of the host plants of chrysorrhoea and cantoti have not been definitely established. Detailed
observations on oviposition behaviour by chrysorrhoea or cantoti would also be of interest, because the gross
morphology of their ovipositors is substantially different from all the other European species.
The status of Hoplocampa fulvicornis as a pest of cultivated plums is not clear. It is possible that it attacks
these more frequently than is indicated in the literature, but that its damage has generally been attributed to
minuta. According to Roberti (1957), the larvae of these two species are not morphologically distinguishable.
Genetic sequencing of larvae could help to shed light on their relative importance in plum cultivation.
Only Sorbus aria s. str. has so far been identified as a host of Hoplocampa ariae. There are no indications that
any of the numerous other related taxa in the subgenus Aria and hybrids of these with subgenus Sorbus occurring in the West Palaearctic are hosts, and some targeted attempts should be made to collect Hoplocampa
from these, particularly from S. intermedia, which is widespread and often abundant as a native in southern
Scandinavia, and frequently planted further South in Europe.
Although the name is currently not of taxonomic or nomenclatural significance, the existence of original type
specimens of Allantus ferrugineus Panzer is noteworthy in that these are among only a very few extant types of any
species described by Panzer.
