Abstract
Taxonomic studies on the sawfly genus Allantidea erected by Rohwer (1912) taking Monophadnus bengalensis Cameron as its type species were carried out from the Indian subcontinent. This genus restricted to the oriental region is represented only by its type species so far. The hosts plants of this species remain unknown. The species is redescribed following a standardized uniform pattern defined for the Allantine sawflies. This would help accommodating the new arrivals at ease if described under this genus in future. Illustrations pertaining to genitalia and other morphological characters of taxonomic importance are provided, however, the male genitalia has not been dissected out keeping in view the importance of the determined-material.
