Re: Tenthredo brevicornis

That does seem to be a problem so I will update the NameServer so that "Tenthredo (Tenthredo) brevicornis (Konow, 1886)" is the recommended name. I am not a big fan of sub-genera but the rest of Tenthredo seem to currently have this format of name. :)

Re: Tenthredo brevicornis

Thanks, Chris. I have just noticed that exactly the same happens with T. notha.

Re: Tenthredo brevicornis

Doing a quick search myself I found:
Species    Tenthredo brevicornis (Konow, 1886)
Species    Tenthredo notha Klug, 1817
Species    Tenthredo thompsoni (Curtis, 1839)
Species    Tenthredo variegata Hill, 1773

but T.variegata doesn't have an equivalent name with a subgenus so I will ponder on that one ;)
