Zygina nivea (Mulsant & Rey, 1855) View in CoL

Young adults are completely white at first and can then only be identified based on the male genitalia, however, after five days, they become easily distinguishable, with a purple spot on the tip of the vertex and two more on the corners of the scutellum ( Fig. 53). Recently, the

species is extending to the north and it was first observed in England in 2010 and in the Netherlands in 2016 ( DEN BIEMAN & DE HAAS, 2017). The species is mainly associated with Populus alba L. I-XII (MÜHLETHALER et al., 2018). The species was marked as expected by COUBEAUX (1892a).
