Chrysomela saliceti Suffrian (Chrysomelidae) - thriving and potentially spreading in urban green areas in London

摘要

Chrysomela saliceti Suffrian, (Fig. 1) is a conspicuous chrysomelid recently discovered as new to Britain by Mendel & Hatton (2012). Their record from the Cambridgeshire fens was initially mistaken for the endangered and closely related C. tremula Fabricius, which was later corrected to C. saliceti in a second publication (Mendel & Hatton 2013). In addition to this record, C. saliceti has also been recorded from a site in South Lincolnshire (VC 53) in 2016 (Barnes, 2017).
