The Tenthredinoidea are the dominant superfamily within the Symphyta, containing some 7000 species worldwide, primarily in the family Tenthredinidae. All known larvae are phytophagous, and a number are considered pests.
The included extant families share the distinctive features of a medially narrowed pronotum, paired protibial spurs, and the loss of the transverse mesonotal groove. The superfamily also includes two extinct families.[1] Meicai and Haiyan (1998) identified 66 extant tribes and 17 subfamilies.[2] The superorder incluides the argid sawflies (Argidae), cimbicid sawflies (Cimbicidae),(Diprionidae) and the common sawflies (Tenthredinidae).
