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
).
