Tenthredo amoena can reach a length of about 9–11 millimetres (0.35–0.43 in).[3] These sawflies have a black body with yellowish markings and short antennae, that are about one and a half times the width of the head. The first antennal element is pure yellow. In the males the first, fifth and 7-8 tergites of the abdomen are yellow. The scutellum is often spotted with yellow. Wings show a pale brown color with a long brown pterostigma. In the females the apex of tibiae and tarsi are yellow with black markings. The thighs are pure black.[3][4]
This species is rather similar to Tenthredo distinguenda.
