Argidae Konow, 1890 Blasticotomidae Thomson, 1871 Cimbicidae W. Kirby, 1837 Diprionidae Rohwer, 1910 † Electrotomidae Rasnitsyn, 1977 Pergidae Rohwer, 1911 Tenthredinidae Latreille, 1803 † Xyelotomidae Rasnitsyn, 1968 Zenargidae Rohwer, 1918[1] The Tenthredinoidea are the dominant superfamily of sawflies within the Symphyta, containing some 8,400 species worldwide, primarily in the family Tenthredinidae.

All known larvae are phytophagous, and a number are considered pests.

The included extant families share the distinctive features of a medially narrowed pronotum, paired protibial spurs, and the loss of the transverse mesonotal groove.

The superfamily also includes two extinct families.

[2] Meicai and Haiyan (1998) identified 66 extant tribes and 17 subfamilies.
