Description.

Description of adult by Loginova (1975 b). Fifth instar immature (Fig. 6 A). Dorsal sclerites on the head, thorax and abdomen brown to dark brown (Fig. 6 A). Setae on the dorsal surface of the forewing pads relatively sparse and short and with almost no sectasetae (Fig. 6 F). Caudal plate with interval II as long as medial and longer than apical row of setae (Fig. 7 A). Ventrite bearing the circumanal ring unsclerotised and not clearly delimited anteriorly; venter, therefore, with five transverse rows between abdominal base circumanal ring; transverse row IV of setae on abdominal venter consisting of two uneven rows of variously long setae (Fig. 8 A).

Distribution.

Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Jordan, Turkey (Loginova 1975 b; Baeva 1985; Gegechkori and Loginova 1990; Burckhardt and Lauterer 1993; Al-Khawaldeh et al. 1997); new for India (Ladakh).

Host plant.

Populus alba L., P. nigra L. (Salicaceae) (Burckhardt and Lauterer 1993), confirmed with immatures.

Biology.

Immatures induce leaf roll galls (Fig. 1 E, F). Immatures of both C. fulgidipennis and C. hoberlandti can sometimes inhabit the same gall.
