Sawflies out of Gondwana: phylogenetics and biogeography of Argidae (Hymenoptera) [PDF]
Systematic Entomology, 2021 ABSTRACT We present the first phylogenetic hypothesis for the cosmopolitan family Argidae based on both molecular and morphological data. Furthermore, we present a biogeographic scenario based on a dated phylogeny and interpret the evolutionary history of the family. Information from sequences of eight genes is analysed to reconstruct

Sawflies of Ethiopia (Hymenoptera: Argidae, Tenthredinidae) [PDF]
Zootaxa, 2015 Sawflies were collected in Ethiopia during 2010–2013. Three species represent new records for the country: Arge deckerti Koch, 2005, Athalia excisa Koch, 2006 and Xenapates nigrifrons Koch, 2012. Arge flavifrons Mocsáry, 1909, syn. n. and A. transvaalensis Cameron, 1911, syn. n. are subjective synonyms of A. micheli (Buysson, 1900) that is re-described

Endogenous toxins and the coupling of gregariousness to conspicuousness in Argidae and Pergidae sawflies [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractPhytophagous insects tend to be either cryptic and solitary, or brightly colored and gregarious, as a defense against vertebrate predators. Here, we tested whether potent defensive chemicals producedde novoby larvae of Argidae and Pergidae sawflies have influenced the evolutionary relationship between larval appearance and levels of ...

Number and location of rDNA clusters in the superfamilies Tenthredinoidea and Cynipoidea (Hymenoptera): an update [PDF]
Comparative CytogeneticsTo identify nucleolus organizing regions (NORs), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with 18S rDNA probe was performed on chromosomes of Tenthredo campestris Linnaeus, 1758 (Tenthredinidae), Arge ciliaris (Linnaeus, 1767) (Argidae) (n = 10 in both)

Behavior and body size modulate the defense of toxin-containing sawfly larvae against ants [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The sawfly larvae of most Argidae and Pergidae (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) species contain toxic peptides, and these along with other traits contribute to their defense.

Toxic peptides occur frequently in pergid and argid sawfly larvae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Toxic peptides containing D-amino acids are reported from the larvae of sawfly species. The compounds are suspected to constitute environmental contaminants, as they have killed livestock grazing in areas with congregations of such larvae, and related ...

Bionomics of the Non-Native Elm Defoliator Aproceros leucopoda (Hymenoptera, Argidae) in North-Eastern Italy [PDF]
InsectsAproceros leucopoda (Hymenoptera: Argidae) is an East-Asian pest of Ulmus spp. that has spread across Europe since the 2000s and, more recently, to North America, causing repeated defoliation of host plants. Laboratory studies have suggested four or five
