Abstract

The primary and secondary type specimens of 27 species of sawflies housed at the Museo de La Plata (División Entomología), Argentina are listed. Information on kinds of types, collection data, and current status are provided. The types belong to species described by P. Jörgensen, C. Schrottky, and D. R. Smith. Two new synonymies are recognized: Aphilodyctium nigripenne Schrottky, 1913 syn. nov. of Waldheimia nigripennis Jörgensen 1913 and Siobla argentina Schrottky, 1913 syn. nov. of Stromboceros argentinus Jörgensen 1913.
