The first records from Sweden of 15 species of sawfly are presented: 2 species of Pamphiliidae,1 Argidae, 11 Tenthredinidae and 1 Cimbicidae. Of these, Empria camtschaticaand E. plana are also recorded for the first time in Europe. An illustrated key is providedto distinguish them from similar species (E. immersa, E. fletcheri). Rhogogaster polarisLindqvist, 1964 is treated as a valid species (species revocata). The number of Symphytaspecies that occur in Sweden and possible deficits in recording strategies are discussed.
