I(7):14 [larva, host]; text description in Brischke 1884 : 167–168 [ ♀ , ♂ ]. Described: ♀ , ♂ , larva, recorded host: Salix helix . Neotype , ♀ , designated by Kopelke (2007a) , SMF [examined]. Type locality: Germany , Hesse : Wetterau, Ortenberg I ( Nidder ). Phyllocolpa polita : Kopelke (2007a) . Euura polita : Prous et al. (2014) . Nematus sieboldii Zaddach, 1884 [in Brischke 1884 ]: 171–172. Described: ♀. Syntypes stated by Zaddach to have been received from ZMHUB, but have not been located there ( Kopelke 2007a ). Type locality: Danzig. Synonymy with Phyllocolpa polita by Kopelke (2007a) . Pontania leucapsis var. connata Enslin, 1915 : 347 . Described: adult, sex not specified. Lectotype , ♀ , designated by Kopelke (2007a) , ZSM [examined]. Type locality: Germany , Gotha. Synonymy with Phyllocolpa polita by Kopelke (2007a) . Variability. Female: Body length: 2.8–4.0mm. Ratio of length flagellomere 2 / height of eye 0.88-1.00. Male: 2.9– 3.8mm . No significant variability in colour pattern of specimens examined. Total number of specimens examined: 12. Genetic data. COI barcodes of species of this complex, as well as E. oblita , are highly similar, and not useful for identification. Similar species. Females are most similar to the other segregates with typically extensively pale orbits: E. plicadaphnoides , E. prussica . Bionomics. Host plants: Salix purpurea ( Kopelke 2007a ) , Salix purpurea × silesiaca ( Beneš 2015a ) . Biology: Beneš (1968a; as Phyllocolpa leucapsis ) , Kopelke (2007a) . Distribution.

Occurrence in Sweden : published records; Skåne ( Benander 1966, as Pontania leucapsis reared from Salix purpurea ), Västergötland ( Wahlgren 1960, as galls of Pontania leucapsis on S. purpurea ).
