Allantinae is a subfamily of sawflies in the family Tenthredinidae,^[2] and the largest subfamily of that family, with about 110 genera. The subfamily is considered to consist of five to six tribes, and are medium to large sawflies.^[3]

Economic importance

Host plants include strawberries, raspberries, roses, violets, dogwood, and loosestrife. Larvae often pupate in fruit or wood.^[3]

Monostegia abdominalis has larvae that feed on Primulaceae, and was introduced into Canada in about 1965 and is a major pest of Yellow Loosestrife (Lysimachia terrestris).^[4][5]
