subdivision = about 200 species in 8 generaThe Pamphiliidae (sometimes incorrectly spelled Pamphilidae) are a small family within the
Symphyta , containing some 200 species from the temperate regions ofNorth America andEurasia . The larvae feed on plants (oftenconifer s), using silk to either build webs or tents, or to roll leaves into tubes, in which they feed, thus earning them the common names leaf-rolling sawflies or web-spinning sawflies. They are distinguished from the closely-relatedMegalodontesidae by their simple, filiform antennae.Extant genera
