Notes on types and taxonomy. See below (Genetic data).

Variability. Female: Body length: 3.2–6.2mm. Pronotum dorsally extensively pale, to completely black. Metafemora completely pale, to extensively fuscous. All abdominal sterna and downturned flanks of terga pale, to nearly wholly black. Male: 2.7–4.8mm. Female and male: inner and outer orbits, lateral vertex and supraclypeal area pale, to completely black. Total number of specimens examined: 17.

Genetic data. The short BOLD COI barcode sequence will not separate saliciscinereae from the other eleven North European species with closely similar barcodes (acutifoliae, arcticornis, brevicornis, etc.), but differences in ITS2, and longer COI sequences, support its status as a separate species (Leppänen et al. 2014).

Bionomics. Host plants: Salix lapponum (Vikberg & Zinovjev 2006), S. lapponum × phylicifolia (Kopelke 1991). Biology: Kopelke (1991), Nyman & Julkunen Tiitto (2000), Roininen et al. (2002).

Distribution. North Europe (Scotland, Scandinavia, Finland, N. Russia), France (Massif Central: Lacourt 2001) possibly also E. Siberia and the northern parts of the Russian Far East (Zhelochovtsev & Zinovjev 1995). Occurrence in Sweden: published records; Jämtland, Torne Lappmark (Benander 1969). Material examined: Jämtland.
