Genus Heptamelus

Heptamelus ochroleucus
Sawfly website

Previously considered within the Tenthredinidae, the two species in this genus are now split as a separate family. The paper by Vikberg & Liston (2009), which splits them into the two species ochroleucus and dahlbomi, designates as the neotype of ochroleucus a specimen taken at Catfield Fen in 1984; there are no other records to date of either.
