Tenthredinids may be distinguished from the other two Symphytan families that we consider by their two well developed spurs on their foretibias.
Their pronotum is deeply grooved (as in Siricidae - woodwasps) which additionally distinguishes them from Cephidae (Cephid wasps).
The ovipositor in the females is not as well developed as in Siricidae.

An insect that shows up on a regular basis in homes, and which almost always is the cause of a great deal of concern for the occupants of that home, is the Horntail Wasp.
This is a fairly large wasp in a family called the Siricidae, also known as Wood Wasps, and there are many different species of them in the United States.
If this happens to you, then a little bit of careful inspecting of the walls of the house may reveal some round, pencil-sized holes in the walls that were not there before, evidence that these insects have come from the wood your house is built with.

Woodwasps of the family Siricidae bore and feed in the wood of conifers and broadleaf trees, and 15 species in five genera occur in eastern United States.
Because they take several years to develop, they are often distributed by commerce and may emerge from lumber outside their native range.
