From the paper, the four British species plus betulae, which might be here too. I've added the aedeagus from three specimens I have. My two from willows look like they might be crypticus. The one from hawthorn looks like to me like subaeneus, but the weevil is not metallic so must be oxyacanthae.

Solanum revealed 2 species: nigrum & nitidibaccatum, Black & Green Nightshade. Apart from the obvious berry colour, it always remained possible that Green Nightshade could have been unripe berries.
Green= sepal lobes expand as the berries mature
Black= stays the same
