Abstract: 
Tenthredinidae (sometimes called sawfly or sawhorse wasps), Tenthredinidae, are a family of Hymenoptera of the suborder Symphyta. It is the largest family of the Tenthredinoidea superfamily with more than 7,500 species in 600 genera. Some species are leaf miners, stem borers, or gall formers. The larvae that feed on the outside of plants resemble Lepidopteran caterpillars. The aim of this manuscript was to carry out an inventory of the Tenthredinidae Family (Insecta: Hymenoptera) related to its conceptual aspects such as biogeography, ecology, habitat, geographic distribution, life cycle, phenology and also taxonomic aspects. To this end, a bibliographic survey of Ichneumonidae was carried out in the years 1937 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events, Doctoral Thesis and Master's Dissertation were considered. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Academia.edu, Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic, Science and ERIC.
