Remarks

• Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae cylindrical, slender, sides straight, apices round, marginal setae slightly longer than remaining dorsal setae, setae abundant over dorsum; macrotubular ducts present marginally on dorsum and mediolaterally on thorax and first abdominal segment; anal lobes heavily sclerotized, medial margin with teeth (Borchsenius, 1949).
• Structure: Adult female eggshaped, reddish-brown, nearly black. Egg sac is grayish, compact and entirely encloses the body of fertilized young female. First stage larvae are reddish-brown (Borchsenius, 1949).
• Biology: The species has two instars before moulting into reproducing neotenic female and four preadult instars (two larval + two nymphal) in male. (Gavrilov-Zimin & Kurochkin, 2019) The species is monophagous of Salix spp., forming dense colonies on trunks and thick branches, not infrequently counting thousands of specimens as well as often significantly damaging the host plants (Matesova, 1967).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Borchsenius (1949).
