Biology:Astegopteryx
Astegopteryx is a genus of aphids in the family Aphididae.[1][2][3][4] The genus has an oriental distribution.[1]
Life cycle and ecology
Some species of Astegopteryx have host alternation between their primary host plants, Styrax trees, on which they form multiple-cavity galls, and secondary host plants, mainly bamboos and palms.[1] Individuals on primary and secondary hosts are morphologically very different and have been misclassified as representatives of different species and genera. "Soldier" morphs occur on both primary and secondary hosts.[4] However, many species can live exclusively on their secondary hosts with parthenogenetic reproduction.[1]
Some Astegopteryx are considered pest insects, e.g., Astegopteryx formosana and Astegopteryx formosana on bamboos[4][5] and Astegopteryx rhapidis on oil palms.[6]
