Tenthredo acutiscutis Konow, 1908

A valid species, Tenthredo ( Olivacedo) acutiscutis Konow, 1908 .

Types. Tenthredo acutiscutis Konow, 1908: 22 . Syntypes ♀, “ Sikkim ”. Lectotype ♀, hereby designated (MNCN_Ent 100183, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 8119, Fig. 05, see also http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.746991). Type locality: India, Sikkim. Paralectotype ♀, same data as lectotype (SDEI, http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/ m9.figshare.775349).

Discussion. Konow had more than one syntype to hand (he gave a body size range). Malaise (1945: 237, plate XV) considered the syntype in the SDEI to be a paratype, and labeled it accordingly. Saini also examined this specimen, and supposed the holotype and a paratype to be in the SDEI ( Saini 2007). The apex of the abdomen of the paralectotype is missing. This species, hitherto unplaced within Tenthredo , belongs to the subgenus Olivacedo Zhelochovtsev, 1988 .
