Rabdophaga roskami

Description
There is some uncertainty as to whether R. roskami makes galls on Salix viminalis or is an inquiline with the larva living in the galls of R. marginemtorquens. The possible gall is a short, downward, hairless, roll containing a cream or light-reddish larva on S. viminalis. Larvae of R. marginemtorquens are yellowish-red or orange.
