The common name comes from the saw-like appearance of the ovipositor, which the females use to cut into the plants where they lay their eggs. The name is associated especially with the Tenthredinoidea, by far the largest superfamily, with about 7,000 known species; in the entire suborder, there are 8,000 described species in more than 800 genera.

Sawflies vary in length, most measuring 2.5 millimetres (0.1 in) to 20 millimetres (0.8 in); the largest known sawfly m
