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).
