Ordo: Hemiptera
Familia: Aphididae
Genus: Aleurodaphis
Name
Aleurodaphis stewartiae Sorin & Miyazaki, 2004 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Aleurodaphis stewartiae Sorin & Miyazaki, 2004: 174.
Host plants
Primary host: Stewartia monadelpha. Secondary hosts unknown.
Biology
The aphid induces a leaf gall, which is formed by rolling the marginal part of the leaf upwards. The gall is about 47.5 long and 7.2 wide, with a surface rough to the touch. The alate viviparous females emerge in early August, and then disappear from the host tree, probably emigrating to some unknown secondary host (Sorin and Miyazaki 2004[1]).
Distribution
Japan (Sorin and Miyazaki 2004[1]).
