Abstract

Secondary-host generations of "Astegopteryx" takenouchii were found from plants of Loranthaceae in Taiwan and Sumatra. Because of its association with Loranthaceae and possession of yeast-like symbionts, the species was transferred to the genus Tuberaphis. It was found that 1st-instar nymphs of T. takenouchii in galls on mistletoes attack other insects.
