Euura plicadaphnoides (Kopelke, 2007) Phyllocolpa plicadaphnoides Kopelke, 2007a: 97 –99. Described: ♀, ♂, gall, recorded host: Salix daphnoides. Holotype, ♀, SMF [examined]. Type locality: Austria, Salzburg, Obertauern. Euura plicadaphnoides: Liston (2015). Variability. Female: Body length: 3.4–5.5mm. Outer margin of inner orbits partly black to narrowly but continuously pale. Upper outer orbits partly pale to outer orbits continuously pale. Ratio of length flagellomere 2 / height of eye 1.00-1.03. Male: 3.2–4.3mm. Upper outer orbits and lateral vertex clearly pale to almost black. Total number of specimens examined: 11. Genetic data. COI barcodes of species of this complex, as well as E. oblita, are highly similar, and not useful for identification. Similar species. Females are most similar to the other segregates with typically extensively pale orbits: E. polita, E. prussica. Bionomics. Host plants: Salix daphnoides,? S. acutifolia (Kopelke 2007a). Biology: Kopelke (2007a). Distribution. Published records are from Alpine areas of Central Europe (Austria and Switzerland: Kopelke 2007a), as well as lowland areas in the Czech Republic (Beneš 2015a) and Germany (Liston 2015). Kopelke (2007a) noted that galls similar to those on S. daphnoides were found on S. acutifolia in Lithuania, but no specimens were reared. Occurrence in Sweden: no records, but should be looked for where its host(s) occurs. Euura plicalapponum (Kopelke, 2007) comb. nov. Phyllocolpa plicalapponum Kopelke, 2007a: 100 –101. Described: ♀, ♂, gall, recorded host: Salix lapponum. Holotype, ♀, SMF [examined]. Type locality: Norway, Finnmark: S.- Varanger, Faerdesmyra. Variability. Female: Body length: 3.5–4.4mm. Ratio of length flagellomere 2 / height of eye 0.84-0.93. Male: not examined. Female and male: too few specimens were examined to allow an assessment of variability. Total number of specimens examined: 5. Genetic data. COI barcodes of species of this complex, as well as E. oblita, are generally highly similar, and not useful for ...
