Abstract
The East-Asian aphid Tinocallis (Tinocallis) zelkowae is recorded for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula on Zelkova serrata (Ulmaceae) in the Viveros Gardens of the city of Valencia (Spain). This is the second record of the species in Europe, after being cited on a Japanese zelkova bonsai in England in 1974. Alate viviparous females and sexuales (winged males and apterous oviparae) are here described, and we present the molecular sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I, which allows comparison with the recently described T. (T.) latifoliae on in Zelkova serrata var. latifolia. It is the fifth species of Tinocallis genus that is known in territories of Iberian Peninsula, three of which are also native to Southeast Asia. KEY WORDS: aphids, biological invasion, Zelkova serrata, Spain
