Abstract
An illustrated list of species of sawflies collected in northern Ecuador, mainly during the end of 2016, is given. Manaosmulsus (Konow, 1906), Ptenosdelta (Malaise, 1957), Scobinastyx Malaise, 1949 (Argidae), Strombocerossuppar Konow, 1903 and Strombocerossutilis Konow, 1903 (Tenthredinidae) are species new for the country. A checklist of species for the country is also provided. Approximately 120 species of Symphyta are known from Ecuador, 25 Argidae, 1 Orussidae, about 40 Pergidae, about 60 Tenthredinidae, and 3 Xiphydriidae.
Highlights
As a hotspot of biodiversity, Ecuador includes various environments harbouring many species still to be discovered, especially among the insects (e.g., Heckman 2006)
An illustrated list is given for sawfly adults from the northern part of Ecuador, which were collected in the frame of a Global Taxonomy Initiative (GTI) project
Field observations include the mention of plants, not necessarily host plants, on which adults were found
Summary
As a hotspot of biodiversity, Ecuador includes various environments harbouring many species still to be discovered, especially among the insects (e.g., Heckman 2006). A list of species collected more recently in the southern part of the country was published by Boevé et al (2016). An illustrated list is given for sawfly adults from the northern part of Ecuador, which were collected in the frame of a Global Taxonomy Initiative (GTI) project. We compiled data and list the sawfly species known for the country
