Arge Melanochra
''Arge melanochroa'' is a species of the family Argidae, subfamily Arginae. Description The adults grow up to long and can be encountered from May to July. The head, the antennae and the thorax are black, while the abdomen is reddish orange. Femurs are black and tibiae are yellow. This species is very similar to ''Arge cyanocrocea'', but in ''A. melanochroa'' the front wings have just a dark spot in proximity of the stigma, while the distal half (the apex) of the wings is transparent. This sawfly can also be confused with '' Athalia rosae'' (Tenthredinidae), but in ''Arge melanochroa'' the antennae are composed of three sections, the third of which is greatly elongated, while in ''Athalia rosae'' the antennae are composed of 10–11 items. Distribution This sawfly is present in Europe. Ecology Adult feed on nectar and pollen of ''Apiaceae'' (mainly ''Heracleum sphondylium'' and ''Laserpitium latifolium''), while larvae feed on ''Crataegus ''Crataegus'' (), commonly ...

Education Johann Friedrich Gmelin was born as the eldest son of Philipp Friedrich Gmelin in 1748 in Tübingen. He studied medicine under his father at University of Tübingen and graduated with a Master's degree in 1768, with a thesis entitled: ', defended under the presidency of Ferdinand Christoph Oetinger, whom he thanks with the words '.

Argidae
Argidae, commonly known as the argid sawflies, is a large family of sawflies, containing some 800 species worldwide, primarily in tropical regions. The larvae are phytophagous, and commonly can be found feeding (and often pupating) in groups, though very few attain pest status. Description The family is distinguished from all other Symphyta by the reduction of the antenna to three segments, flagellomeres; the last one is elongated often shaped like a tuning fork in males. Distribution Species of this family are mainly found in the Neotropical region and in sub-Saharan Africa; however, this family is globally distributed. Genera Argidae contains the following genera, split between its two subfamilies: * Arginae ** '' Antargidium'' ** '' Arge'' ** '' Asiarge'' ** '' Brevisceniana'' ** '' Kokujewia'' ** '' Mioarge'' ** '' Pseudarge'' ** '' Scobina'' ** '' Sjoestedtia'' ** '' Spinarge'' ** '' Triarge'' ** '' Zhuhongfuna'' * Sterictiphorinae ** '' Acrogymn ...

Arge Cyanocrocea
''Arge cyanocrocea'', the bramble sawfly, is a species of sawflies of the family Argidae, subfamily Arginae. Distribution These sawflies are present in most of Europe, in the Caucasus, in Asia Minor and in Japan. Description The adults of ''Arge cyanocrocea'' grow up to long. As all sawflies, this species is related to wasps and not to flies, but lacks the typical wasp waist. Its head and thorax are black, while the abdomen is yellowish orange. Legs are reddish, with small black rings. The wings show a characteristic wide transverse dark band and gray apex.Bob GibbonField Guide to Insects of Britain and Northern Europe/ref> ''Arge cyanocrocea'' is rather similar to '' Arge pagana'', that shows black wings. Biology These sawflies can be encountered from May to July, feeding on pollen and nectar of several Apiaceae species (''Aegopodium podagraria'', '' Meum athamanticum'', ''Heracleum sphondylium'', etc.), Euphorbiaceae species (''Euphorbia'' spp.) and Asteraceae species (''Tana ...

Athalia Rosae
''Athalia rosae'', the turnip sawfly, cabbage leaf sawfly or beet sawfly, is a typical sawfly with dark green or blackish 18–25 mm long larvae that feed on plants of the brassica family, and can sometimes be a pest. It winters below the ground, emerging in early summer as a 7–8 mm adult with a mainly orange body and a black head. The adult feeds on nectar. The turnip sawfly was found to result in diploid males and females after sister-brother matings. This differs from normal haplodiploid Haplodiploidy is a sex-determination system in which males develop from unfertilized eggs and are haploid, and females develop from fertilized eggs and are diploid. Haplodiploidy is sometimes called arrhenotoky. Haplodiploidy determines the se ... hymenoptera and after a further cross causing triploid males, resulted in evidence that sex determination is controlled by a single locus.

Tenthredinidae
Tenthredinidae is the largest family of sawflies, with well over 7,500 species worldwide, divided into 430 genera. Larvae are herbivores and typically feed on the foliage of trees and shrubs, with occasional exceptions that are leaf miners, stem borers, or gall makers. The larvae of externally feeding species resemble small caterpillars. As with all hymenopterans, common sawflies undergo complete metamorphosis. The family has no easily seen diagnostic features, though the combination of five to nine antennal flagellomeres plus a clear separation of the first abdomen, abdominal tergum from the metapleuron can reliably separate them. These sawflies are often black or brown, and 3 to 20 mm long. Like other sawflies, they lack the slender "wasp-waist", or Petiole (insect), petiole, between the thorax and abdomen, characteristic of many hymenopterans. The mesosoma and the metasoma are instead broadly joined. The Tenthredinidae are also often somewhat dorsoventrally flattened, wh ...

Europe
Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and Asia to the east.

Heracleum Sphondylium
''Heracleum sphondylium'', commonly known as hogweed or common hogweed, is a herbaceous perennial plant in the carrot family Apiaceae, which includes fennel, cow parsley, ground elder and Heracleum mantegazzianum, giant hogweed. It is native to most of Europe, western Asia and northern Africa, but is introduced in North America and elsewhere.

Insects Described In 1790
Insects (from Latin ') are Hexapoda, hexapod invertebrates of the class (biology), class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (Insect morphology#Head, head, Thorax (insect anatomy), thorax and abdomen (insect anatomy), abdomen), three pairs of jointed Arthropod leg, legs, compound eyes, and a pair of antenna (biology), antennae. Insects are the most diverse group of animals, with more than a million described species; they represent more than half of all animal species. The insect nervous system consists of a insect brain, brain and a ventral nerve cord. Most insects reproduce Oviparous, by laying eggs.
