    れが翌年の 4~5 月に膨らんでイチジク型の目立つゴールとなることが知られている.ゴ ールができた芽は通常伸長しないので,イチジク型ゴールの基部は枝と接続する形になる.ところが,イスノキの葉に基部がつながったゴールが少数ながら見出された.ゴールがついている葉は変形しており,ときに著しく小さいことから,これらの「葉ゴール」は初期ゴールが形成された芽が,ゴールが膨らむときに(あるいは直前に)伸長した結果生じたものと推論した.また,この発見から,近縁のアカガシチャイロムネアブラムシによってイスノキに形成される葉ゴールも,同様のプロセスを経るのではないかと示唆される.

    Multiple-cavity galls of a cerataphidine species were found on the evergreen Styrax benzoides in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. Comparison of mitochondrial DNA sequences between aphids from the galls and aphids of Pseudoregma carolinensis from bamboo revealed that the gall-forming aphids are of P. carolinensis. The colony sizes of mature galls were comparatively small, up to approximately 1, 500 individuals. The galls contained many pseudoscorpion-like 2nd-instar soldiers, which attacked an experimentally introduced moth larva, and which were observed to push globules of honeydew out of the subgall. The life cycle (holocycle) is probably annual, with some aphids remaining on bamboo throughout the year. The gall and alate morph are described.

    Aphids of the genus Hamamelistes host-alternate between Hamamelis (the primary host) and Betula (the secondary host). The taxonomy of the Japanese species has been in a mess. Eight different names have been used for them, and no combination between the primary-and secondary-host generations has been established. By sequencing their mitochondrial COII genes, we made it clear that three species occur in Japan : Hamamelistes miyabei (Matsumura) on Hamamelis japonica and Betula maximowicziana, Hamamelistes kagamii (Monzen) on H. japonica and B. grossa, and Hamamelistes betulinus (Horvath) on H. japonica, B. platyphylla, B. davurica and probably also on B. ermanii. The life cycles of the three species are reviewed, and synonyms are listed under the valid names.

    White galls, with conspicuous green excrescences inside, were collected from Styrax paralleloneura in northern Sumatra. Through a transfer experiment we ascertained that the galls were of the ginger aphid Pseudoregma sundanica. The galls and alates are described. We found that the species produces pseudoscorpion-like, 2nd-instar sterile soldiers in the galls. Soldiers attacked artificially introduced syrphid larvae, and also stung human skin with their stylets. On one gall, soldiers attacked 20 conspecific non-soldiers that had been introduced onto the surface, both from the gall itself and from another gall. This is a second instance of attack by soldiers upon conspecific aphids.

    No gall of the aphid Colophina clematicola has hitherto been found despite the fact that its woolly colonies are rather commonly found on the secondary host, Clematis terniflora, in Japan. We collected sexuparae of the aphid from the secondary host in autumn and transferred them to a potted tree of Zelkova serrata. Several leaf-rolled galls were formed in the following year, and one of them produced alate emigrants in September. The number of male embryos in each sexupara was not constant, as was predicted from the bad-gene hypothesis. First-instar nymphs of the gall generation attacked a maggot that had been introduced onto the surface of a gall. The gall generation of C. clematicola are described.

    Ceratovacuna cerbera n. sp., a woolly aphid producing pseudoscorpion-like 1st-instar soldiers in its colonies on Sasa spp., is described from Japan and Korea. We found that both the soldiers and "normal" 1st-instar nymphs attacked artificially introduced insect larvae. Three alates were collected in Japan in November. Because they were secondary migrants and not sexuparae, the life cycle is probably anholocyclic in Japan.

    Galls of two tropical aphid species, Astegopteryx styracophila and A. setigera, were collected from Styrax benzoin in northern Sumatra to investigate the life cycles, the gall and colony structure and the behavior of their soldiers. Through transfer experiments it was found that A. styracophila migrates to gingers and possibly also to palms and A. setigera to bamboos. The name A. muiri is a junior synonym of the valid name A. styracophila, and A. setigera is a junior synonym of A. pallida. Soldiers of either species that had been induced to appear on the gall surface soon retreated into subgalls through ostioles. The apical wall of each subgall of A. styracophila was extremely thickened to form a "cork stopper" with narrow tunnels. This structure has probably evolved in association with their "entrance-guarding and rushing-out" tactics.

    Of five cerataphidines that form galls on Styrax suberifolia in Taiwan, "Astegopteryx" jamuritsu is the only species whose life cycle and taxonomic position remain unclear. We found three mature galls of the species in southeastern Taiwan. The galls were very hard and of single-cavity type. Examination of the morphology of 1st-instar nymphs deposited by alates revealed that the life cycle is host-alternating, and that the species belongs to the genus Cerataphis. The aphids were found to harbor slender yeast-like symbionts, like other genuine Cerataphis species. It has been hypothesized that the species produces soldiers that readily fall off their gall when disturbed. We found numerous 2nd-instar soldiers in the galls, but they did not readily fall off the galls. Keys to the five species based on the 2nd-instar soldier and the mature gall are given.

    Ramified galls of "Astegopteryx" vandermeermohri (Aphididae, Hormaphidinae, Cerataphidini) were collected from Styrax serrulata in Sumatra to investigate the life cycle and social behavior of the aphids, and the gall structure. The galls were of single-cavity type. It was found that the species produces 2nd-instar sterile soldiers which sting human skin and cause troublesome irritation. The colony size of one gall was estimated to be 94, 000, of which 45.6% were soldiers. Soldiers readily fell off this gall, but not from other two galls containing fewer aphids. The species was transferred to the genus Cerataphis based on the morphology of lst-instar nymphs deposited by alates.

    Galls of the aphid Thecabius populimonilis were sampled from cottonwoods in Colorado, Utah and Arizona to investigate its life cycles. Both a monoecious and a heteroecious series of generations were found to occur in Colorado. First-instar nymphs deposited by emigrants were very similar to those of the sexuparous generation produced on the primary host, especially in having a characteristic set of wax plates on the abdominal tergites. This corroborated the generation-packing hypothesis that the monoecious series of generations was secondarily derived from the heteroecious series through the packing of the sexuparous generation into the gall. Further studies will be necessary to determine whether aphids exhibiting the two life cycles belong to the same or different species.

Gall-living nymphs of any instar attacked artificially introduced insect larvae, but the main defenders were 1st-instar nymphs, as expected from their morphology. Some non-1st-instar nymphs showed back-scratching behavior in the gall. Through a transfer experiment, Impatiens nolitangere was found to be a secondary host of E. niisimae.

    Galls of the tropical aphid "Astegopteryx" leeuweni were collected from Styrax serrulata in Sumatra to investigate its life cycle, gall structure, soldier production and symbionts. The galls were of a single-cell type, and found at the position of a flower bud. The examination of alates and wingpadded nymphs revealed that the life cycle is monoecious with sex. Because the aphids contained round yeast-like symbionts, the species was transferred to the genus Tuberaphis. Many soldier-like 2nd-instar nymphs were found in the galls, but they did not attack artificially introduced insects. The function of the nymphs is briefly discussed.

    Gall formation of Ceratovacuna japonica was studied on the snowbell trees in Nagoya. It was found that the fundatrix transforms an axillary bud into its banana-bundle-shaped gall. A few outsiders appeared in the course of the gall formation. Many 2nd-instar sterile soldiers were produced in the gall. Outsiders known from other cerataphidines are reviewed and discussed. It is concluded that the evolution of 2nd-instar soldiers preceded that of outsiders in the history of the tribe Cerataphidini.

It is proposed that A. swinhoei TAKAHASHI, 1936, is conspecific with Pseudoregma bambucicola (TAKAHASHI, 1921), which is known to produce 1st-instar soldiers on bamboo. It was found that this species produces 2nd-instar soldiers in the gall. Galls and 1st-instar exules deposited by emigrants are described.

    Egg guarding behavior in the whitefly Neomaskellia bergii was observed in Taiwan. None of 10 guarding females flew or walked away when tapped with a pin. They instead opened their wings and lifted their abdomens. Five out of 7 guarding females were found still guarding their eggs at the same positions 4 days after being marked. The 5 females added eggs to their egg masses. Two of them rotated in a 180° arc with their stylets inserted in the same position and laid another egg mass. Anoplolepis ants were found attending immatures and guarding females for honeydew. It is suggested that the female whitefly not only attracts ants but also guards her eggs from predation by ants because eggs cannot produce honeydew.

    Ceratoglyphina bambusae is the only aphid species whose soldiers are known to attack conspecifics. In a previous experiment carried out in September, when alates were not yet produced, soldiers attacked any insect but conspecific soldiers placed on the surface of their gall. The experiment was repeated on the same gall in December, when many alates were emerging : soldiers attacked virtually no conspecific aphid, so that alates took off without trouble. In another experiment carried out in June on a younger gall with fewer soldiers, not all but some non-soldiers were attacked. C. bambusae probably changes its tactics between September and December. It is suggested that even in September there are some galls whose defense against conspecific non-soldiers is by no means complete.

The following facts about its gall formation and gall inhabitants were obtained : 1) the banana-bundle-shaped gall of this species is initiated on the stem of a developing shoot of S. suberifolia in May ; 2) 1st-instar aphids of the 2nd generation play a defensive role, but, unlike those of Ceratovacuna nekoashi, they all have the opportunity to enter subgalls ; and 3) many 2nd-instar soldiers are produced in mature galls. Four out of 821 soldiers examined had the next instar cuticle developing inside. Such soldiers have hitherto been unknown among cerataphidines. The entire life cycle is briefly reviewed.

These abnormal aphids are described, and their implication for the origin of monoecious life cycles is discussed.

    The formation of the "cat's-paw" gall on Styrax japonica by Ceratovacuna nekoashi is described. The 1st-instar fundatrix attacks an axillary bud (not a terminal bud) of a shoot and the attacked bud soon sprouts to form a cat's-paw. First-instar fundatrices often fight each other for an incipient gall ; this fighting behavior is also described. Daily mapping of buds and galls on shoots showed that only newly-formed axillary buds are available for gall formation. It is suggested that the fighting between fundatrices is the result of competition for these ephemeral resources.

It was found that these 1st instar sexuales move to branches soon after birth without molting. Many sexuparae were confined in a plastic jar with pieces of tough snowbell bark. Later, copulating sexuales and eggs were found between the pieces. These facts show that sexuales of C. nekoashi do not take food at all.

    It was observed that 1st-instar aphids of Astegopteryx bambucifoliae attacked eggs of an insect, pupae of a scymnine and an adult cecidomyiid on bamboo leaves in Taiwan. Unlike other cerataphidine defenders that have hitherto been reported, they used their stylets, not their horns, in the attacks.

    The generation-packing hypothesis to explain the origin of monoecious life cycles in Pemphigus predicts that 1st-instar aphids deposited by alate emigrants of heteroecious Pemphigus species have the potential to grow in the poplar gall. To see whether this prediction is true of P. matsumurai, its galls parasitized by an aphidiid species were examined in early August. Emigrants were forced to larviposit in these unopened galls, and one 2nd-instar aphid of the 3rd generation (a root generation) was found in one of them.

    Astegopteryx styraci forms large coral-like galls on twigs of Styrax obassia. The following facts about its biology were obtained : 1) A. styraci is monoecious on the storax. 2) It produces sterile 2nd-instar soldiers. 3) The soldiers not only defend their colony, but also push honey globules and exuviae out of the gall with their heads. Thus, this species is unquestionably "eusocial" even if we adopt a strict definition of the word.

    How the monoecious or non-migratory life cycle of Pemphigus monophagus has evolved was explained by the "generation-packing" hypothesis, namely : in the migratory ancestor of this species, a mutation that caused emigrants to larviposit in the gall occurred and was fixed ; later, the "emigrants" lost their wings and eventually became apterae. The following predictions from this hypothesis were found to be true : 1) Three generations occur in the gall. 2) Apterous adults show vestiges of the emigrant. 3) Larvae produced in the gall are dimorphic, and the larvae that grow into sexuparae resemble those of migratory species produced on the secondary host.

    Using their stylets, monomorphic 1st instar larvae of Colophina clematicola attacked lepidopterous and syrphid larvae which had been artificially placed on their colony on Clematis terniflora. They also attacked syrphid eggs and another aphid species, Myzus varians, under natural conditions. The origin of Colophina soldiers is briefly discussed.

    Aphids, sap-sucking insects of the family Aphididae (Hemiptera), are peculiar in adopting cyclical parthenogenesis. The life cycle begins with a sexually produced aphid called a “fundatrix,” followed by a number of asexually produced generations, leading to a single generation of sexual females and males that produce fertilized eggs. These eggs give rise to new fundatrices. Some “species” have lost the sexual phase. Because their parthenogenesis is apomictic, an aphid colony founded by a single parthenogenetic aphid is a pure clone. Hence, it is conceivable that social or altruistic behavior can readily evolve by kin selection in the parthenogenetic phase of the life cycle. In fact, when coming under attack, many aphids of various groups discharge droplets containing alarm pheromone from their cornicles (aphid-specific structures on the abdomen), thus helping colony-mates to escape.
