Taeger, Andreas & Viitasaari, Matti, 2015, European Rhogogaster s. str., with notes on several Asian species (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae), Zootaxa 4013 (3), pp. 369-398 : 375

Rhogogaster Konow, 1884: 338 .

Rhogogastera Konow, 1885: 123 . Unjustified replacement name for Rhogogaster Konow, 1884 .

Type species: Tenthredo viridis Linnaeus, 1758 , by subsequent designation of Rohwer 1911: 89. Gender feminine.

Taeger et al. (2010) listed the following seven taxa under Rhogogaster (Rhogogaster) : R. californica ( Norton, 1862) (+ 3 subjective synonyms); R. carpatica ( Zhelochovtsev, 1988) ;

R. chlorosoma ( Benson, 1943) ;

R. dryas ( Benson, 1943) (+ 1 subjective synonym); R. gayuboi Llorente, 1988 ;

R. punctulata ( Klug, 1817) ;

R. viridis ( Linné, 1758) (+ 15 subjective synonyms).

As a result of the current work we consider the following European Rhogogaster s. str. to be valid:

R. chlorosoma ( Benson, 1943) ;

R. gayuboi Llorente, 1988 ;

R. magniserrula Viitasaari spec. nov.;

R. polaris Lindqvist, 1964 (= R. californica auct. partim); R. punctulata ( Klug, 1817) ;

R. scalaris ( Klug, 1817) (= R. viridis auct., nec Linnaeus, = R. carpatica , syn. nov.); R. viridis ( Linné, 1758) (= R. dryas , syn. nov.).
