A junior subjective synonym of Tenthredo (Tenthredo) brevivertex brevivertex (Konow, 1905b) . Synonymy by Zhelochovtsev (1976a).

TYPES. Allantus sanguinolentus Mocsáry, 1909: 25 . Syntypes Ƥ 3, “Turkestania: Montes Alai”. Lectotype Ƥ, hereby designated (Fig. 34). Type locality: “Alai mont.” [= Alai, mountain range in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan].

DISCUSSION. Taeger (1988a) based his placement of the taxon on a short study of syntypes of sanguinolentus . According to Mocsáry (1909), A. sanguinolentus was based on 9 Ƥ and 16 3. The lectotype of sanguinolentus (Fig. 34) has tergum 1 and the pronotum pale marked. In addition to the lectotype, 6 Ƥ and 163 of the type series were found (labelled as paralectotypes). The females may have tergum 1 and / or the pronotum entirely black. The males of the species seem to be, unlike the females, rather stable in colouration (Fig. 35).
