Note: The epithet salicis is not considered as
valid by most authors. I am not sure about the
reasons for this; in my opinion the name is
properly published as a trinomen, showing that De Geer,
1773 considered it as a variety of
Linnaeus´ Cicada spumaria. I am currently
not aware of a ruling by the Commission that
invalidates this name; I therefore think that it
is available and should have priority, but I
provisionally retain the epithet salicina that
is used by most current authors.
