Buprestis viridisuturalis Nicolay and Weiss, 1918 .

Ada Co., Star, 5-VII-2015 [Albert Allen collection]. An individual was observed flying on 4-VII-2015, and another was found dead and severely damaged on 11-VIII-2015 (Albert Allen, personal communication). This beautiful species has been recorded from Washington to California, and Nevada and Utah. I am unaware of any confirmed larval hosts other than poplars ( Populus spp. [ Salicaceae ]). Alders have been mentioned in the literature (e.g., Burke 1920). Nelson et al. (2008) listed Salix gooddingii Ball. ( Salicaceae ), but I have been unable to find a source in the literature.
