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.
