Clydostomus cestatus Konow, 1908

A valid species, Tenthredo cestata ( Konow, 1908) .

Types. Clydostomus cestatus Konow, 1908: 20 . Syntypes ♂ ♀, “ Sikkim ”. Lectotype ♀, hereby designated, (MNCN_ Ent 82480, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 8128, Fig. 13 , see also http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.756207). Type locality: India, Sikkim. Paralectotypes: 1 ♂ ( MNCN _ Ent 82481, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 8128, http:// dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.757297), 1 ♀ ( NHRS), 1 ♂ (? without abdomen, SDEI), all labeled “ Sikkim ” .

Discussion. The taxon is the type species of Clydostomus Konow, 1908 . Malaise (1945) synonymized it with Tenthredo , and, based on the tridentate clypeus, within this genus with Fethalia Cameron, 1902 (type species T. opposita , see also discussion under inguinalis ). But because of its rather different appearance it seems unlikely that cestatus is closely related to the group of T. opposita . In the course of a future reclassification of Tenthredo s.l., Clydostomus (which is older than Rohwer’s, Malaise’s, and Zhelochovtsev’s genus group names in Tenthredo s.l.) might be used again. Currently, the species is not placed in a subgenus. See also under Clydostomus merceti .
