Abstract

The discovery of incipient galls of Ceratoglyphina bambusae revealed that 1) the gall is initiated by a single fundatrix, who does not enter any subgall but lives in a pocket formed at the base of the gall, that 2) some of her 1st-instar offspring defend their gall outside, and that 3) soldiers are already produced in the 3rd or 4th generation. The aphids in a gall belong to a single clone provided that intergall migration does not occur.
