Sciopteryx galerita Konow, 1907

A valid species, Tenthredo (Temuledo) galerita (Konow, 1907) .

Types. Sciopteryx [ sic!] galerita Konow, 1907b: 164–165 . Syntype (s) ♀, “ Sikkim ”. Lectotype ♀, hereby designated, (MNCN_ Ent 100245, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 8132, Fig. 23 View FIGURE 23 , see also http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/ m9.figshare.779756). Type locality: India, Sikkim.

Discussion. The species was not treated by Malaise (1945). Saini (2007: 11) noted: “For want of detailed account and difficulty in translating, T. galerita (Konow) could not be inducted into the key.” Benson (1968: 187) examined the type specimen, and placed it in Tenthredo . Tenthredo galerita shows similarities with T. religosa Malaise, 1945 , and T. contraria Malaise, 1945 . Currently, it should be placed in the subgenus Temuledo Zhelochovtsev, 1988 .
