This volume covers the first revisionary work on Indian sawfly families such as Argidae, Diprionidae, Cimbicidae, Pamphifiidae, Siricidae, Xiphydriidae and Orussidae. To the hitherto known information i.e. 17 genera and 40 species under 7 families, 6 genera and 26 species have been added by Saini and his co-workers during the last 24 years, this compilation deals with 23 genera covering 66 valid species. This work is an outcome of an exhaustive collection surveys of most of the high altitude localities situated along the Himalayan belt and the hills of North eastern states. To accomplish this arduous task Saini and his co-workers repeatedly surveyed these area in different seasons and at different times.
