The larvae of sawflies and their allies housed in the Hymenoptera Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Hymenoptera: Symphyta)

Key Points

• The collection includes larvae primarily identified to species within the symphyta group, with many housed in 151 vials.
• A total of 73 vials contain specimens that remain unidentified, highlighting the need for further research.
• Observational analysis of the collection data reveals diversity within the hymenoptera family and gaps in species classification.
• This study emphasizes the importance of museum collections for preserving biodiversity and supporting taxonomic studies.
