Treatment

Euura purpureae ( Cameron, 1884)

Nematus purpureae Cameron, 1884: 80 . Described: adult [sex not stated], larva, gall, recorded host: Salix purpurea . Lectotype, ♀, designated by Kopelke (2007a), BMNH [not examined]. Type locality: England, Worcester.

Pontania purpureae: Konow (1890) .

Phyllocolpa purpureae: Benson (1960a) .

Nematus (Phyllocolpa) purpureae: Zhelochovtsev (1988) .

Tubpontania purpureae: Vikberg (2010b) .

Euura purpureae: Prous et al. (2014) .

Euura acuminata Enslin, 1915: 339 . Described: ♀. Lectotype, ♀, designated by Kopelke (2007a), ZSM [examined]. Type locality: Germany, Saxony, Meissen [" Merseburg " probably given in error by Enslin ]. Synonymy with purpureae by Kopelke (2007c).

Variability. Female: Body length: 3.0– 4.3mm. Male: 3.4–3.9mm. Total number of specimens examined: 41.

Genetic data. The COI barcodes of five E. purpureae from Austria, France, and Morocco share the same BIN with the only successfully sequenced specimen of E. cyrnea (paratype from Corsica). Nevertheless , divergence of E. purpureae from E. cyrnea is a minimum of about 1.9%.

Bionomics. Host plants: Salix purpurea ( Kopelke 2007c, Vikberg 2010b). Biology: Benander (1966), Beneš (2015a), Stritt (1938), Vikberg (2010b), Zinovjev & Vikberg (1999).

Distribution. North Africa ( Lacourt 1999), and through most of Europe north to southern Sweden ( Vikberg 2010b). Occurrence in Sweden: published records; Skåne ( Benander 1966), Halland ( Andersson 1955: Pontania sp. making spirally twisted gall on S. purpurea ), Västergötland ( Wahlgren 1960), Uppland ( Coulianos & Holmåsen 1991). Material examined: Skåne.
