Treatment

A valid species, Tenthredo oculissima Konow, 1907 .

Types. Tenthredo oculissima Konow, 1907b: 173 . Syntypes ♂ ♀, “ Sikkim ”. Lectotype ♂, hereby designated (MNCN_ Ent 100215, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 8139, Fig. 31 View FIGURE 31 , see also http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.765451). Type locality: India, Sikkim. Paralectotypes: 1 ♀ ( MNCN _ Ent 100216, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 8139, http:// dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.765453), 1 ♂ 1 ♀ ( SDEI, http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.766197), all labeled “ Sikkim ” .

Discussion. Malaise (1945: 211) considered a female (perhaps the specimen from MNCN) as “the type”, whereas Saini (2007: 134) erroneously noted that the holotype ♀ and a couple of paratypes should be in the SDEI. The species shows a very distinct sexual dimorphism.
