Pristicampini - a new tribe for a new genus of sawflies from Northern Europe and Siberia (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae)

A.G. Zinovjev

Abstract. A new genus Pristicampus (type species Mesoneura arctica Lindqvist, 1958) is established to accommodate three species formerly assigned to Pristiphora Latreille or Pachynematus Konow. The type species and P. incisus (Lindqvist, 1970) (= Pachynematus intermedius Verzhutskii, 1974, syn. n.) associated with different host plants (presumably Potentilla crantzii and definitely Dasiphora fruticosa) are considered as distinct species. A new species Pristicampus dasiphorae (= Pristiphora biscalis sensu Verzhutskii, non Förster) from Siberia is described. The taxonomic position of the new genus is discussed and a new tribe, Pristicampini, is established.
