Intensive rearing of leaf-mining sawflies from woody plants in Central Europe by Dr E. Altenhofer has recently made available adult material correlated with biological data. The significance of small differences in morphology which would often appear as 'variation' in specimens caught in the field can be assessed more easily. Additionally, study of leaf-mining sawflies has been comparatively neglected because of the small size of adults and their scarcity in collections. Altenhofer & Zombori (1987) published the taxonomic results of these rearings for the group ol Heterarthrus Stephens on Acer, and an overview of the taxonomy of all the species reared is given by Pschorn-Walcher & Altenhofer (1989). This paper is concerned with the group of species at present collectively identified as Kaliofenusa (or Fenusa) ulmi (Sundevall). It is concluded that three closely related Kaliofenusa exist in Europe, two of which were previously undescribed. Each seems to be monophagous on a different elm species. This result is put in context with a brief review of known foodplant associations in other leaf-mining sawflies in the same tribe (Fenusini, Blennocampinae).
