Diagnosis
Dorsally mostly black colouration distinguishes the females from closely related E. pavida (dorsally extensively pale). The pale parts of the abdomen of living E. papillosa females are also usually (always?) green, rather than yellow in E. pavida. Males might not be clearly distinguishable from E. pavida. A mitochondrial genome in GenBank (MZ726800, named as Euura bridgmanii, voucher ZYT-202105-02) that was published as Pontania dolichura (Sun et al. 2022) belongs to E. papillosa. This was confirmed based on the nuclear sequences extracted from the raw Illumina data of the voucher ZYT-202105-02 (NCBI Sequence Read Archive accession SRR15883156).

Lectotype Nematus lacteus, here designated
SWEDEN – Skåne • ♀; Lund; 55.71° N, 13.19° E; MZLU, MZLU2017317.
Holotype Pteronidea sveae
FINLAND – Uusimaa • ♀; Helsinki, Munksnäs [Munkkiniemi]; 60.22° N, 24.89° E; 5 Aug. 1956; E. Lindqvist leg.; MZH, http://id.luomus.fi/GL.3508.
Host plants

Genetics
COI
Based on 29 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 4.92% and the nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 2.74%, is Euura pavida.
Nuclear
Based on 4 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 0.57% (0.12% based on haplotypes of individual females). The nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 0.62%, is Euura pavida.
Distribution and material examined
Palaearctic. Specimens studied are from Austria, China (only genetics), Finland, Germany, Japan, and Sweden.
