Abstract
Introduction Tenthredo Linnaeus is one of the largest genera of the Tenthredinidae with more than 800 species described worldwide. The genus is represented by 153 species in the Indian subcontinent. After the revisionary work by Malaise (1945) on Southeast Asian Tenthredinoidea, numerous new species were added to this genus by Muche (1982; 1983), Singh (1985), Singh et al. (1985a,b), Singh and Saini (1987a,b,c; 1988a,b,c,d; 1994; 1995), Saini and Bharti (1996; 1997a,b; 1999), Saini and Vasu (1998a,b), Saini et al. (1998a,b), Vasu and Saini (1998) from India. Several new synonymies for the species of this genus were traced out by Vasu and Chambal (1997) and, Vasu and Saini (1999), while Vasu and Chambal (1998) associated females for the first time with their male counterparts of two species. In this paper three new species from this region are described and illustrated. Terminology used for description is after Ross (1937; 1945) and Malaise (1945). The type material will be housed at the Division of Entomology, Pusa National Collections, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India.
