Notes

Three morphologically well distinguished Phyllocolpa species feed on Salix viminalis in Europe ( Vikberg 2010a). Benson (1958) had already distinguished these under the names Phyllocolpa piliserra , Phyllocolpa scotaspis and Phyllocolpa anglica . Kopelke (2007b) stated that only two European species occur on this host, and synonymised Nematus anglicus and Nematus nigrolineatus with Phyllocolpa scotaspis , thus leaving the taxon formerly referred to as Phyllocolpa anglica without a valid name. The opinions of Benson and Vikberg are followed here.
