Populicerus populi (Linnaeus, 1761)
This attractively marked species is found quite easily, by searching or beating the branches of Aspen, but yet there are very few published recent county records. Populicerus populi is virtually identical to Populicerus nitidissimus, which can be found on Poplars.
