HE & TS, coll. NHMO. Biology: The orange larva develops in lateral buds on Salix aurita and S. cinerea ( Salicaceae ). Our records are from S. aurita . The infected bud develops into a miniature rosette gall. Univoltine.

The larva hibernates in the gall and pupates there in the spring. The larva lacks the sternal spatula, which is unusual among Rabdophaga .
