Keys for determination of pine sawflies species in Kyiv and Chernihiv Polissya and Forest-Steppe of Ukraine

Abstract

In the pine stands of Kyiv and Chernihiv Polissya and also in Transtyasmin region (Forest-Steppe), 11 species of pine sawflies from 5 genera and 2 families (Pamphiliidae and Diprionidae) were determined. Among these species, Acantholyda sp. (Acantholyda erythrocephala, A. posticalis and A. hieroglyphica), Diprion pini and Neodiprion sertifer are rather well known. There is not enough data on Macrodiprion nemoralis, Diprion similis and four Gilpinia sp. (G. frutetorum, G. virens, G. variegatа and G. laricis. The greatest number of sawfly species was found in Kyiv Polissya (11 species). Gilpinia frutetorum amounted up to 90 % in collections. Keys for determination of pine sawflies by cocoons and larvae inside (eonymphs), by larvae during feeding and by peculiarities of egg laying were developed for foresters (experts in forest protection).
