synonyms

Darlington mentions in his booklet as a gall causer on Salix: Eriophyes marginatus Connold, 1901. The name is ignored in the catalogues by Davis ao and Amrine & Stasny, but is is used (also as “Aceria tetanothrix marginatus”) by Dauphin & Aniotsbehere and by Béguinot (2001c, 2002d,h). Probably it is one of the many forms of tetanothrix galls.
