Endelomyia aethiops (GMELIN, 1790)

Inchnadamph NNR , Sutherland, NC 2620, 1 ♂, ex larva on Rosa spinosissima L., collected 17.ix.2002, emerged 29.v.2003, leg. Bland ( RSME) .

Knight (2009b) mentioned Endelomyia aethiops among records of some rarely found males of British sawfly species. Males have now been recorded on four occasions in the British Isles. Apart from the 3 males from Hutton Roof Crags, Cumbria ( Knight 2009b), other records are of single individuals from: Tring, Hertfordshire ( Benson 1952); Leadhills, Lanarkshire ( Liston 1983a) and Sutherland (above). At present there seems to be no reliable indication (which might be gained by rearing) of the sex-ratio of populations in the British Isles.
