Description. Bright green or yellowish green; often with black spots on face next to ocelli, at apex of crown, and on fore margin of pronotum ( Figs. 17–19 ).

Abdominal apodemes of 2 nd tergite in male round, separated by broad notch; sternal apodemes very wide, more or less triangular, separated by narrow gap ( Figs. 92, 94 ). Penis in side view short and wide ( Figs. 93, 95 ). 2 nd valvulae of ovipositor with 3–4 preapical teeth ( Fig. 96 ).

Body length (including tegmina): ♂, 4.0– 4.5 mm; ♀, 4.7–5.0 mm.

Specimens from European Russia ( Figs. 92–93 ) and Southeastern Kazakhstan ( Figs. 94–96 ) have no significant differences in shape of apodemes and genitalia.

Host. Salix triandra in Europe and Kazakhstan; S. pierotii in the Far East.

Distribution. M. notata has a disjunct range consisting of two parts. The western part includes Central and Southern Europe, Southern Urals, Northern and Eastern Kazakhstan, the eastern part – the Russian Far East, China, and Japan; the fact that West Palearctic and Far Eastern populations belong to the same species is confirmed by signal analysis ( Tishechkin, 1998). Introduced to North America ( Hamilton, 1980). In Southeastern Kazakhstan sporadically occurs in river valleys in the plains.

Remark. Was described from Eastern Kazakhstan by Mityaev (1971) under the name M. punctata .
