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).

Distribution.

Japan ( Sorin and Miyazaki 2004).
