Abstract EN
Gall formation is an interesting plant response to aphid feeding.
This paper presents a review of galling aphids in China.
Altogether, 157 species and subspecies in ten families and subfamilies are found to induce galls on their host plants.
As many as 39% species are endemic to China.
The Eriosomatinae include the highest percentage of gall-inducing species.
The great diversity of gall morphology may be described in terms of five characteristics: type, site, size, shape, and structure.
The host association and host specificity of galling aphids are also discussed.
