EUROASIAN ENTOMOLOGICAL JOURNAL 15(Suppl. 1): 156-164, 2016 Note. The original manuscript title "Doppelgänger in Tenthredo..." was changed by the editor of the journal. The specimens examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were uncoated. These images were taken with a SEM JSM-6060LV (Jeol) or with a Keyence VHX-D510 Digital SEM/Microscope. Other photos were taken with a Leica DFC 495 digital camera and a Leica M405 C stereomicroscope. Composite images with an extended depth of field were created from stacks of images using the software CombineZP, and finally arranged and partly enhanced with Ulead PhotoImpact X3. Micosoft Image Composite Editor (ICE) was used to stitch together images of large specimens. Abstract of the paper: Three pairs of species of Tenthredo with a probably allopatric distribution in Japan (and Sakhalin) and the Asian Mainland are treated. Tenthredo leleji sp.n., a species similar to T. eburata Konow, 1900 is described from Japan and Sakhalin. Tenthredo tenuipennis Malaise, 1931, sp.rev. is removed from synonymy with T. hilaris F. Smith, 1874. The differences between T. jonoensis Matsumura, 1912 and T. cockerelli (Rohwer, 1925) are described and illustrated. Lectotypes are designated for Tenthredo eburata Konow, 1900, T. jonoensis Matsumura, 1912, T. vitta Enslin, 1920, and T. tenuipennis Malaise, 1931.
