Plagiognathus obscuriceps (Stål) Figure 39

Eurymerocoris obscuriceps Stål, 1858: 190 (n. sp.).

This species was originally described from Siberia; I have examined specimens from Russia, Yakutia, River Amgu , identifed by I. M. Kerzhner. The genitalia (fig. 39) are of the typical Plagiognathus type and appear to conform to the illustration provided by Qi and Nonnizab (1993) .

HOST: Salix sp. (Salicaceae) (Lindberg, 1928).
