Euura crassipes (

comb. nov.
|
Euura crassipes is a species of sawfly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae (common sawflies) and was first described by Carl Gustaf Thomson in 1871. The larvae feed internally in a gall formed on the leaves of downy willow ( Salix lapponum).
Descriptions of the gall differs depending on the source. According to Redfern et al. (2011) the thin-walled gall is globular, 4–10 mm diameter and usually protruding more on the underside of the leaf of downy willow. According to the website Plant Parasites of Europe, the thin-walled gall protrudes equally on either side of the leaf. The gall feels like felt, is hairy and large in relation to the size of the leaf. [1] [2]
This species has only been recorded from Finland, Russia ( Kola Peninsula), Scotland and Sweden. [3]
