Body 3.1 times longer than wide in females and 3.3 times longer than wide in males (Fig. 6a, d). Integument black, the compressed pubescence is orange-brown, with numerous long, erected dark brown hairs. The orange-brown pubescence relatively dense in males and from dense to very dense in females, resulting in females being more orange-brown, and males grayish to orange-brown (Fig. 6a, d). The orange-brown pubescence is extended laterally in females, especially on pronotum, anterior part of elytra and abdomen (Fig. 8a).</p><p>Head in females. Frons convex and broader than long (about 4.7 times broader than the width of one eye lobe), eyes with lower eye lobes longer than broad and, as long as, or slightly longer than gena below. Head with frons more or less “square-formed” in many female specimens, genae straight and acutely narrowing towards mouthparts (Fig. 9a), frons densely covered with orange-brown pubescence and numerous dark brown, long and erected hairs. Genae posteriorly with long fringes of orange-brown hairs. The area between antennal segments is shallowly impressed. Head in males. Frons convex and broader than long (about 4.5 times broader than the width of one eye lobe), eyes with lower eye lobes longer than broad and 2-3 times longer than the short gena below. Head with frons rounded, genae straight and acutely narrowing towards mouthparts, frons densely covered with whitish and orange-brown pubescence and numerous dark brown, long and erected hairs. Genae posteriorly with long fringes of orange-brown hairs. The area between antennal segments is shallowly impressed. Mouthparts. Frontoclypeal margin with a fringe of relatively long orange-brown pubescence and long, orange brown, suberect hairs. Clypeus glabrous except at base. Labrum with appressed orange-brown pubescence and numerous long, suberect, orange-brown hairs. Antennae. Relatively slender, about as long as body in males (Fig. 6d), shorter in females (Fig. 6a). The length of antennae varies in males from antennae extending beyond apices by one antennomere to shorter than elytra by three antennomeres. The length of antennae varies less in females with antennae extending beyond the middle of elytra by 3-5 antennomeres. Antennae from third segment with annulation. Scape slender and coarsely punctured with a combination of large and small shallow punctures and long black hairs, subconical, third segment longer than first and fourth. Annulation on antennal segments greyish and covering about ¾ of the anterior part of each antennal segment. Thorax. Pronotum subcylindrical, slightly broader than long, lacking lateral spines. Pronotal disk convex, weak median line often with a glabrous and shining area medially, base shallowly impressed, coarse punctures except medially, densely covered with long erect and brown hairs, two broad lateral orange-brown stripes with a weak median line interrupted medially, prosternum densely pubescent with orange-brown hairs. Elytra. 2.5-2.9 times longer than broad in females and 2.7-3.0 times longer than broad in males. No carinae present. Parallel and weakly narrowing towards apices, apices narrowing and rounded, punctures coarse, deep, contiguous towards humeri and apices and confluent medially (especially in males where confluent punctures form short and weakly raised ridges transversally on each elytron), pubescence dense to very dense. There are normally eight distinct and large, orange-brown spots on elytra (apart from an irregular patch of orange-brown pubescence often occurring towards apices). The eight rounded spots are arranged in pairs with the first and third near the suture; each spot in the third pair often elongated transversally or even divided into two spots each; spots in the fourth pair sometimes slightly elongated longitudinally. One or more pairs of spots may be obsolete or rarely missing (particularly in old worn specimens). The remaining part of elytra is covered with scattered orange-brown pubescence and numerous long brown hairs. Scutellum. “U-shaped” and covered with orange-brown hairs, the hairs are mostly concentrated to the middle of scutellum. Hind wing. About 12.0 mm long in females and about 10.0 mm long in males (Fig. 11a). Covered with a weak smoky tint. Several veins are broken with apical portions not connected to basal portions. MP3 (rudimentary), MP4 and AA vein distinct although broken. Radial cell very strong and complete (Fig. 11a). Legs. Relatively short, densely covered with a fine whitish pubescence including tarsi; tarsal claws lacking a process. Venter. Densely covered with orange-brown pubescence in both sexes, prosternal process narrow and flattened anteriorly. Mesosternum and abdominal ventrites are densely covered with orange-brown pubescence and numerous yellowish and long, erected hairs. Posterior margin of sternite VII mostly rounded but sometimes weakly notched medially. Male terminalia. Aedeagus 2.1-2.5 mm long, weakly curved towards apex and compressed dorso-ventrally (Figs 10 a–b, 9e), dorsal surface smooth and shining with apical part strongly to moderately narrowed towards apex (Fig. 10e). Tegmen with parameres: 2.2-2.7 mm long with tegmen mostly twisted dorso-ventrally (Fig. 10k). Parameres acutely narrowing towards apex, with dorsal surface densely covered with punctures and suberected setae. The inner margins mostly well separated and diverging towards apices (Fig. 10h) but sometimes projecting inwards (Fig. 10g). Tergite VIII 0.7-1.0 mm long relatively large and rounded with a posterior margin concave in the middle and densely covered with dense white pubes cence and numerous long brown hairs (Fig. 10o). Sclerite inside internal sac: 1.8-2.2 mm long consisting of three parallel “shaft-like” structures of which the apical end (top) is elongated and posterior end often extended and narrowing towards posterior end (Fig. 10m). The colour of male genitalia is brownish. Female terminalia. Tignum almost straight, 6.4-8.5 mm long (width 0.1-0.2 mm at the widest point apically). Tergite VIII posterior margin (width: 1.0 mm) with a few brown hairs. The colour is brown. Spermathecal capsule strongly sclerotised, yellowish, round and supplied with a short shaft, diameter: 0.5 mm.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Morphological characteristics of S. populnea populnea are based on type specimens preserved at LINN (males). The host tree was claimed by Linnaeus (1761) to be Populus tremula . S. populnea populnea is a highly variable species, the most common form in Europe having extensive orange-brown pubescence on pronotum and elytra and four distinct pairs of orange-brown spots on elytra. The orange-brown pubescence on elytra (apart from the four pairs of spots) is often reduced especially in females, as a result of variation, but also in old worn specimens. The characters presented herein are therefore mainly based on newly hatched and fully sclerotised specimens reared from Populus tremula .</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>S. populnea is the most widespread and variable species within the genus, with populations occurring in almost the entire Palaearctic region from the British Isles in the west to Far East of Russia and China in the east ( Löbl and Smetana 2010). S. populnea populnea is common in Fennoscandia, although less frequently found in Norway in the past. It was recorded from Northern Norway (Strand 1946, Bily and Mehl 1989, Ehnström and Holmer 2007). We have not seen any of these specimen(s) from Northern or Western Norway and consequently, we do not know the identity of the subspecies. Distribution patterns over the past 200 years in Sweden show stable populations in the southern provinces, with only a few records in the Northern provinces, mainly along the coast (Lindhe et al. 2010). Most records of the examined specimens of S. populnea populnea from Fennoscandia are from coastal areas in southern Norway and Finland and numerous inland records from southern Sweden and Finland. Only a few specimens have been recorded in inland, northern Sweden (Fig. 13).</p><p>Biology.</p><p>Females form a "U-shaped mark" in the bark of Populus tremula, on stems and branches 1-2 cm in diameter, forming a lid under which an egg is deposited. Usually, a single larva is tunnelling in the centre of the branch of living aspens, where the host tree responds by forming a more or less distinct gall ( Ehnström and Axelsson 2002, Lindhe et al. 2010). An attack by female larvae often results in larger galls than those initiated by male larvae (Fig. 12c). Normally, only scattered attacks can be found in the same habitat with only one or two galls on the same stem or twig. Damages caused by mass attack of S. populnea populnea have been observed in many European countries (e. g. Schwenke 1974) as well as in Asia (e.g. Cherpanov 1991). In Sweden, Populus plantations have been severely damaged ( Ehnström and Axelsson 2002). Today the species has become less abundant in Sweden. Only few and scattered records are known from northern Sweden (Lindhe et al. 2010). The development takes 2 years. The biology and larval morphology of S. populnea has been dealt with by many authors (e.g. Duffy 1953, Demelt 1966, Schwenke 1974, Cherepanov 1991, Švácha 2001, Ehnström and Axelsson 2002). We have included specimens of S. populnea populnea from all Fennoscandian countries and as many northern records as possible (Fig. 13).</p><p>Host tree.</p><p>The preferred host tree is Populus tremula as a number of authors have claimed (Tab. 2). A total of 16 other Populus species and hybrids are attacked in Europe and Asia (Tab. 2). Many species of the genus Salix are also reported to be attacked (Tab. 2). Amongst the specimens included in the present study, the majority was reared from Populus tremula, while only a few specimens were reared from Salix caprea L. and S. cinerea L. S. populnea populnea is also known to attack living branches and narrow stems of other trees and shrubs in Europe e.g. Corylus spp. (Bense 1995) and Betula sp. (Vives 2000, Sama 2002), although Betula spp. has not been recorded as a host tree in any of the Nordic countries. We, therefore, question the validity of Betula sp. as a host tree. Hua (2002) and CABI (2012) mentioned Quercus glauca Thunb. (apart from five species of Populus) as a host tree in China. S. populnea populnea has also been reared from stems of coppiced hedgerow ash ( Fraxinus excelsior L.) in the UK (Allen 1979) (Tab. 2).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/706095C3DB9E39E1F237456D0CBA65E7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body 3.1 times longer than wide in females and 3.4 times longer than wide in males (Fig. 6 b–c, e–f). Integument black, the compressed pubescence is yellowish to whitish (most northern populations) (Figs 6c, f) to reduced orange-brown pubescence (southern populations) (Fig. 6b, e). Elytra with numerous long erected dark brown hairs. The pubescence in the southern populations is relatively dense in both sexes. The yellowish to whitish pubescence in the northernmost populations (above the Arctic Circle) is strongly reduced resulting in exposed and shining integument in both sexes. The orange-brown pubescence is present but weakly extended laterally in females from southern populations and the yellowish to whitish pubescence in females from northern populations very weak laterally (Fig. 8b).</p><p>Head in females. Frons convex and broader than long (about 5 times broader than the width of one eye lobe), eyes with lower eye lobes slightly longer than broad and as long as gena below it. Genae posteriorly with long fringes of yellowish or whitish hairs and genae evenly narrowing towards mouthparts resulting in head being more “rounded” (Fig. 9b). Frons weakly covered with yellowish to whitish pubescence, and numerous dark brown, long and erected hairs. The area between antennal segments is shallowly impressed. Frons densely covered with orange-brown pubescence and numerous dark brown, long erect hairs. Genae posteriorly with long fringes of orange-brown hairs. Head in males: Frons convex and broader than long (about 4 times broader than the width of one eye lobe), eyes with lower eye lobes longer than broad and about 3 times longer than the short gena below. Head with frons rounded, genae straight and acutely narrowing towards mouthparts, frons weakly covered with whitish or orange- brown pubescence and numerous dark brown, long and erected hairs. Genae posteriorly with long fringes of orange-brown hairs. The area between antennal segments is shallowly impressed. Mouthparts. Frontoclypeal margin has a fringe of relatively long whitish pubescence and long, brown, suberect hairs. Clypeus glabrous except at base. Labrum with appressed, whitish pubescence and numerous long, suberect, orange-brown setae. Antennae. Short, slender, at the most extending beyond the middle of elytra by 2-3 antennomeres in females (Fig. 6 b–c). In males, the antennae reach by 3-4 antennomeres past the middle; thus, antennae are always shorter than body in males (Fig. 6 e–f). The segments from third segment are annulate. Annulation on antennal segments greyish and covering about ¾ of the anterior part of each antennal segment. The subconical, third segment is longer than first and fourth. Scape slender and coarsely punctured with a combination of large and small, shallow punctures and long black hairs. Thorax. Pronotum subcylindrical, slightly broader than long, lacking lateral spines. Pronotal disk convex, weak median line often with a glabrous and shining area medially, base shallowly impressed, coarse punctures except medially, densely covered with long erect and brown hairs, two broad lateral yellowish stripes with a weak median line interrupted medially. Prosternum densely pubescent with yellowish and whitish hairs. Elytra. 2.6-3.0 times longer than broad in females and 2.7-3.1 times longer than broad in males. No distinct carinae present on elytra. Parallel and weakly narrowing towards apices, apices narrowing and rounded, punctures coarse, deep, contiguous towards humeri and apices and confluent medially (especially in males where confluent punctures form short and weakly raised ridges transversally on each elytron), pubescence relatively weak to dense. There are generally eight relatively distinct and small to relatively large, yellowish to whitish spots on elytra, arranged in pairs: the first and third near the suture, spots in the third pair often elongated transversally or even divided into two spots each, spots in the fourth pair elongated transversally and placed on the middle of elytra in females (Fig. 6 b–c), Females from northern populations have irregular spots of yellowish to whitish pubescence between the third and fourth pair of spots and towards apices. No missing spots were seen in any of the examined specimens, but a few old worn specimens had very small i.e. obsolete spots on the elytra. The remaining part of elytra is covered with scattered yellowish or whitish pubescence and numerous long brown hairs. Scutellum. “U-shaped” and weakly covered with whitish hairs (southern populations) or entire scutellum glabrous (most northern populations). Hind wing. About 11.0 mm long in females and 9.0 mm long in males (Fig. 11 b–c). Covered with weak smoky tint. Several veins are broken with apical portions not connected to basal portions. MP3 (rudimentary), MP4 and AA vein broken. Radial cell very strong and complete. Legs. Relatively short, densely covered with fine whitish pubescent including tarsi, tarsal claws lacking a process. Venter. Densely covered with whitish to yellowish pubescence in both sexes, prosternal process narrow and flattened anteriorly. Mesosternum and abdominal ventrites are densely covered with yellowish or whitish pubescence and numerous yellowish and long, erected hairs. Posterior margin of sternite VII rounded and often deeply notched on medially. Male terminalia. Aedeagus 2.0-2.3 mm long, evenly curved towards apex and compressed dorso-ventrally (Fig. 10f), dorsal surface smooth and shining with apical part weakly narrowed towards apex (Fig. 10 c–d). Tegmen with parameres 2.1-2.5 mm longer and straight dorso-ventrally (Fig. 10l). Parameres acutely narrowing towards apex, with dorsal surface glabrous and shining, or (rarely) with entire surface densely covered with punctures and suberected setae. The inner margins well-separated and diverging towards apices (Figs 10 i–j). Tergite VIII 0.6-1.0 mm long, relatively large and rounded with the posterior margin concave in the middle and densely covered with white pubescence and numerous long brown hairs (Fig. 10p-q). Sclerites inside internal sac 1.7-2.1 mm long consisting of three parallel “shaft-like” structures, of which the apical end (top) is elongated and posterior end blunt and acutely narrowing towards posterior end (Fig. 10n). The colour of male genitalia is yellowish to dark brown. Female terminalia. Tignum almost straight, 6.5-8.2 mm long (width 0.1-0.2 mm at the widest point apically). Tergite VIII posterior margin (width: 1.0 mm) with a few brown hairs. The colour is brown. Spermathecal capsule: strongly sclerotised, yellowish, round and supplied with a short shaft, diameter: 0.5 mm.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>morphological characteristics are mainly based on type specimens, either collected on, or reared from branches of Salix lapponum . S. populnea lapponica ssp. n. is separated from S. populnea populnea by the overall smaller body size, shorter antennae in both sexes, reduced pubescence on thorax and elytra, mainly yellowish to whitish pubescence, reduced or absent pubescence on scutellum and short frons in females which is giving the appearance of a rounded head (Fig. 8b). The characters presented herein are mainly based on newly hatched and fully sclerotised specimens. Small, dark and less pubescent specimens are easily recognized in collections in Fennoscandia and were in most cases, found to belong to the new subspecies S. populnea lapponica ssp. n. There are variations in the body size and colour pattern on elytra between the various populations of S. populnea lapponica ssp. n. The slightly larger specimens occurring in the southern populations near Trysil, Norway, have more distinct spots on elytra. The darker and smaller specimens from the northern populations, occurring in the northern Scandinavian mountain range near e. g Kiruna, also have intermediate forms occurring e.g. in Juksjaur near Tärnaby . The darker and slightly smaller specimens have more reduced spots on elytra. No such geographical variation in body size and colour pattern has been found in S. populnea populnea in Fennoscandia.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The name is an adjective used as a substantive in the genitive case derived from the specific name of the host plant Salix lapponum .</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>The distribution of S. populnea lapponica ssp. n. is within the distribution of Salix lapponum in Fennoscandia ( Hultén 1971). The most southern populations of S. populnea lapponica ssp. n. occur near Trysil, Norway, while the most northern populations occur north of the Arctic Circle (Fig. 13). Since Salix lapponum is distributed eastwards in Siberia approximately to the Jenisej Valley ( Hultén and Fries 1986), it is possible that S. populnea lapponica ssp. n. has a much wider distribution in Russia than we are able to show in the present paper.</p><p>Biology.</p><p>The attacks are similar to S. populnea populnea where females form a "U-shaped lid" in the bark under which an egg is deposited. Stems and branches around 1-2 cm in diameter are used. However, normally no galls are formed by the host tree (Fig. 12 a–b). The attacks can be massive and one single stem can contain up to 30 attacks (Fig. 12a). Larvae can live during a number of consecutive years since old exit holes are present together with live larvae. It is, therefore, likely that several generations of beetles can develop within the same stem of Salix lapponum . Exit holes are normally slightly larger when made by female beetles compared to male, reflecting the differences in size and shape. The development takes at least 2 years, since both small and full-grown larvae were found in stems of Salix lapponum after adults had emerged. The localities are wetter than localities where S. populnea populnea are found, since Populus tremula do not occur in biotopes where S. lapponum occur. As a consequence, S. populnea populnea and S. populnea lapponica ssp. n. live in well separated habitats.</p><p>In addition, parasites including wasps and flies frequently attack S. populnea populnea (Schwenke 1974, Pulkinn and Yang 1984, Georgiev 2001). Very few such parasites have been collected from stems attacked by S. populnea lapponica ssp. n. which might be due to climatic factors. However, we did recover two parasitoid wasps of the family Ichneumonidae from downy willow hatching wood with Saperda populnea lapponica ssp. n. attacks. These were identified as one Poemenia hectica (Gravenhorst, 1829) ( Poemeniinae) and one Campopleginae, possibly belonging to the genus Pyracmon (det. Jacek Hilszczański). Unfortunately, the second specimen was damaged during post transfer and could therefore not be identified with certainty. While Campopleginae includes species known as parasitoids of saproxylic beetles, Poemenia is known as a parasitoid of wood-nesting wasp larvae, so that it may not have been (directly) related to the Saperda populnea lapponica ssp. n. larvae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E7CAA45AB9553DD69D74FA4C2769E584	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
