Fennica 5:135-138. In a list of sawflies from the Polar Urals, I. A. Bogacheva briefly described and named the larvae of two Amauronematus species attributed to Zhelokhovtsev. Reared specimens with Zhelokhovtsev' s identification labels can be considered syntypes. Lectotypes of Amauronematus compactus Bogacheva, 1977 and A. harpicola Bogacheva, 1977 are designated and described. Aleksej G.
