Abstract

A short note by Mr. Saulnier in Miscellanea Entomologica, 43, July 1947, p. 43, is headed “L'osier est-il une nouvelle plante hôte de Crioceris merdigera Linné? (Chrysomelidæ, Coleoptera)”. On two occasions he has found this chrysomelid beetle on osier willow (Salix viminalis L. Salicaceæ), once on July 6, 1943, at La Booz, near Bretoncelles, Orne, and again on April 28, 1946, at Berdhuis, Orne. At first he thought it was accidental, but having found it a second time a note asking the above question seemed justifiable.
