Abstract
Abstract Tuberaphis owadai sp. nov., an aphid species forming coral‐shaped galls on Styrax tonkinensis in northern Vietnam, is described. We found that the species produces many sterile second‐instar soldiers in the gall. The colony size of a large gall was estimated to be 178 000, approximately half of which were soldiers. Alates emerging from galls contained sexual embryos, indicating that the life cycle is monoecious (non‐host‐alternating). Predaceous larvae of the pyralid moth Assara seminivalis were found in several galls.
