Host plant cited. Larval: Salix . Adult: Salix .

Biological remarks. The species replaces A. viridis on Salix in Tajikistan. Larvae bore individually or collectively under the bark or deeper in the wood of living branches (Figs 9B, 9D, 9E). Larval activity may cause dieback of infested terminal part (9C). The character of Salix infestation is similar to that of A. viridis in Europe (Fig. 10C) or A. politus (Fig. 7D) in North America.
