Pachynematus Konow, 1890 (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Symphyta): generic name given precedence over Epitactus Förster, 1854
Abstract

The Commission has conserved the widely used sawfly generic name Pachynematus Konow, 1890 by giving it precedence over a rarely used name Epitactus Förster, 1854, whenever the two are considered to be synonyms. Sawflies in this genus are of economic significance as pests of cereal and grass-fodder crops in North America, Europe and China.
