Along with ants, bees, and wasps, sawflies are members of the order Hymenoptera's suborder Symphyta. The ovipositor, which the females use to cut into the plants where they lay their eggs, resembles a saw, hence the common name. 

The Tenthredinoidea superfamily, which has over 7,000 known species and is by far the largest superfamily in the suborder—there are 8,000 described species in more than 800 genera throughout the suborder—is particularly linked to the name. 

Paraphyletic, Symphyta is made up of multiple basal groups within the order Hymenoptera, each of which is anchored inside the group before it, and culminates in the Apocrita, which are not sawflies.
