Description:
Text in English with bilingual summary in English and Maori. Sawflies and woodwasps consist of 15 families with over 8300 species worldwide. They are found on all major land masses except Antarctica, but they are often absent from oceanic islands.
In New Zealand, the diversity of sawflies and woodwasps is extremely low. There are only four endemic species belonging to two families of woodwasps (Orussidae and Xiphydriidae). Nine species have either been accidentally introduced or, for one species, intentionally introduced as a biological control agent. The introduced species belong to three families Siricidae, Pergidae, and Tenthredinidae.
This Fauna of New Zealand contribution is aimed at experts, naturalists, and non-specialists; it is abundantly illustrated and should greatly facilitate identification and information gathering about these insects.
