Description
Summary:Euura hastatavora Vikberg, 2014 Pontania hastatae Vikberg, 1970: 17 –18. Described: ♀, ♂, gall, recorded host: Salix hastata. Holotype, ♀, FMNH [examined]. Type locality: Finland, Kilpisjärvi, Saana. In Euura, the name hastatae Vikberg is proccupied by E. hastatae Malaise, 1921. Euura hastatavora Vikberg in Prous et al. 2014: 53, replacement name for P. hastatae Vikberg. Pontania (Pontania) hastatae: Viitasaari & Vikberg (1985). Pontania (Eupontania) hastatae: Lacourt (1999). Eupontania hastatae: Vikberg & Zinovjev (2006). Variability. Female: Body length: 3.3–5.4mm. Outer orbits, upper inner orbits and lateral vertex brown, to black. Tegula pale, to black. Pronotum narrowly pale margined, to completely black. Male: 2.8–5.3mm. Female and male: metafemur nearly entirely pale, to nearly entirely black. Total number of specimens examined: 8. Genetic data. Although the short BOLD COI barcode sequence will not separate hastatavora from the other eleven North European species with closely similar barcodes (acutifoliae, arcticornis, brevicornis, etc.), longer COI, and ITS2 sequences are distinctive and support the validity of this taxon (Leppänen et al. 2014). Bionomics. Host plants: Salix hastata (Vikberg 1970). Biology: Kopelke (1991). Distribution. Central Europe (Alps), North Europe (Scandinavia and N. Russia) (Kopelke 1991), Siberia (Zhelochovtsev & Zinovjev 1995). Occurrence in Sweden: published records; Torne Lappmark (Vikberg 1970). Euura kriechbaumeri (Konow, 1901) comb. nov. Pontania kriechbaumeri Konow, 1901a: 83 (key). Lectotype, ♂, designated by Zinovjev (1985), SDEI [examined]. Type locality: Germany, Frankfurt / Main. Pontania (Eupontania) kriechbaumeri: Zinovjev (1985). Eupontania kriechbaumeri: Vikberg & Zinovjev (2006). Nematus lanificus: in litteris name, mentioned by Kriechbaumer (1876: 67), used by Bremi for specimens reared from pilose galls on S. elaeagnos. ?= Pontania crassivalvis Konow, 1901a: 83 (key).
