Euura destricta - oblita group (formerly Phyllocolpa carinifrons)
Adults strongly resemble species in the Euura ischnocera group. See Liston et al (2017) for determination.
Euura destricta larvae feed on bay willow, tea-leaved willow and possibly downy willow. The larvae cause a leaf fold, either spirally twisted or a marginal fold.
