Tenthredo capistrata Konow, 1907

A valid species, Tenthredo capistrata Konow, 1907 .

Type. Tenthredo capistrata Konow, 1907b: 171–172 . Syntypes ♂ ♀, “ Sikkim ”. Lectotype ♀, hereby designated, ( MNCN _Ent 100193, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 8126, Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 , see also http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.755973). Type locality: India, Sikkim. Paralectotype: ♂? ( SDEI, see http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.787732, without abdomen), same data as the lectotype.

Discussion. Saini (2007: 107) mentioned a ♀ holotype and two paratypes (♂, ♀) in the SDEI (“IPAL, Eberswalde”). According to the original description, the types of capistrata are syntypes. Furthermore, the existence of three specimens in the SDEI was a speculation. Oehlke & Wudowenz (1984) already noted in the SDEI only a single, damaged syntype without abdomen. Saini (2007: 31) noted that the males and females of the species are very differently colored. On the other hand, Konow (1907b) did not mention such a difference, but a slightly different shape of the head. It seems to be possible, that Konow had only the well preserved female (now lectotype) and a male without abdomen (now paralectotype) for the description.
