Rhogogaster lateraria

Rhogogaster lateraria is a sawfly species in the family Tenthredinidae, originally described from North America by Cresson in 1880. It belongs to a genus of relatively large, often brightly colored sawflies commonly known as green sawflies. The species is documented from western Canada, with records from Alberta and British Columbia. Like other members of its genus, it likely exhibits the characteristic sawfly morphology with a broad connection between thorax and abdomen, lacking the narrow waist typical of many other Hymenoptera.
