aquilonis subgroup Other European taxa occur in the Carpathian Mountains and the Alps (Vikberg 2003), but only a single species is known in northern Europe. E. myrsiniticola , although it resembles aquilonis in adult morphology and was included by Vikberg (2003) in his aquilonis group, belongs to the viminalis subgroup according to genetic data. Euura aquilonis (Benson, 1941) comb. nov. Pontania aquilonis Benson, 1941. Published as a "new name" for Pontania herbaceae sensu Malaise, 1921a. Lectotype, ♀, designated by Vikberg (2003), BMNH [examined]. Type locality: Sweden, Torne Träsk area. Eupontania aquilonis (Benson, 1941): Vikberg (2003). Pontania algida Benson, 1941: 134 –136. Described: ♀. Holotype, ♀, BMNH [examined]. Type locality: Scotland, Perthshire, Breadalbane Mountains near Killin. Synonymy by Vikberg (2003). Pontania polaris : Kopelke (1989b); misidentification. Pontania ( Eupontania ) polaris : Zinovjev (1993b); misidentification. Variability. Female: Body length: 3.4–5.3mm. Supraclypeal area, outer orbits, upper inner orbits and lateral vertex brown, to completely black. Femora mainly pale, to mainly black. Male: 3.3–4.9mm. No significant colour variability in specimens examined. Total number of specimens examined: 34. Genetic data. Nyman et al. (2000) already published a tree that shows aquilonis placed outside the crassipes and viminalis subgroups. COI barcoding permits unequivocal identification of E. aquilonis , with the nearest neighbouring sequences (about 4% different) being those of the E. crassipes subgroup. Bionomics. Host plants: Salix herbacea , S. polaris , and their hybrid (Vikberg 2003). Biology: Hakkarainen et al. (2005), Kopelke (1989b), Roininen et al. (2002), Vikberg (2003). Distribution. North Europe (Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Finland), Central Europe (Slovakia, Tatra Mts) (Vikberg 2003). Occurrence in Sweden: published records; Torne Lappmark (Malaise 1921a, Vikberg 2003). Material examined: Torne Lappmark (galls and reared adults). Published as part of Liston, Andrew D., ...
