Cimbex americanus, the elm sawfly, is a species of sawfly in the family Cimbicidae.[1][2][3] This is a very large species of Hymenoptera, with adults measuring 3 cm and larvae reaching 5 cm long. If captured, adults may buzz and use their powerful spiny legs defensively. However, like other sawflies, this species does not possess a sting.[4] The fly Opheltes glaucopterus is a parasite of the prepupae stage of this sawfly.[5]
Taxonomy
[edit]This species was originally described as Cimbex americana by William Elford Leach, who treated the genus as feminine. However, Cimbex comes from a masculine Greek noun,[6] and the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature thus requires masculine species.[7] Thus, its correct name is Cimbex americanus.[8]
