A Review of the Genus Cryptorhynchus Illiger 1807 in the United States and Canada (Curculionidae: Cryptorhynchinae) Author Anderson, Robert S. text The Coleopterists Bulletin 1807 2008-03-31 62 1 168 180 http://dx.doi.org/10.1649/1065.1 journal article 10.1649/1065.1 1938-4394 5369896 Curculio lapathi Linnaeus 1758:379 . Natural history. This species is the poplar and willow borer of the economic entomological literature (Blatchley and Leng 1916; Garbutt and Harris 1994). Adults and larvae are associated with various species of willow, poplar, alder and birch ( Salicaceae , Betulaceae ). Larvae mine young stems. It is not clear if the species was introduced into North America from Europe or is a native Holarctic species. Distribution. Fig. 25 .

Femora each with 2 distinctly separated teeth. Elytra with strial punctures large and deep, at least some wider than width of adjacent elytral intervals; with concentrations of black erect scales on intervals 3 and 5 throughout basal 2/3 of length; apical 1/3 of elytra with bright white scales distinctly contrasting with dark scales on rest of elytra.
