Tenthredo segrega Konow, 1908

A valid species, Tenthredo (Eurogaster) segrega Konow, 1908 .

Types. Tenthredo segrega Konow, 1908: 23–24 . Syntype (s) ♀, “ Sikkim ”. Lectotype ♀, hereby designated (MNCN_ Ent 100246, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 8146, Fig. 36 , see also http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.769237). Type locality: India, Sikkim.

Discussion. Apparently, after Konow (1908) nobody examined the type(s) of segrega . Most likely it was a single female, which is selected here as lectotype. Malaise (1945) used only the original description, and Saini (2007: 56) followed Malaise. Their descriptions are somewhat misleading, as the species is characterized by them among other things by its completely black mesopleura. In reality, the mesopleura are mainly pale (green in life), only black in the upper corner (given as “ pleurorum suturis et mesopleurorum summo apice subalari nigris ” in Konow, 1908). The species belongs to the subgenus Eurogaster Zirngiebl, 1953 .
