China: Guangxi (Baise City: Jingxi County), Tibet (Linzhi City: Motou County, Dexing County, and Chayu County), Yunnan (Baoshan City: Tengchong County and Xishuangbanna County).</p> <p>Biology. The species feeds on Rubus ellipticus Smith and colonises the young stems of its host plant which were in natural settings in the field, with attendant ants (Figs 33–36). This plant likes a warm and humid environment and growing at the margin of the forest or between forest and farm. The altitude of the collection site is between 700–1000 meters. The life cycle is unknown.</p> <p>Molecular analyses</p> <p>The final alignments of COI sequences consisted of 658 sites, including 75 parsimony-informative sites. Pairwise sequence divergences of genes among the Aphis species feeding on Rubus are presented in Table 3. The intraspecific genetic distances of new species are 0.00%–0.6% (mean: 0.3%). The interspecific genetic distances of new species and known species is 3.96–5.90% for COI corresponding to the divergence of Aphididae taxa (0.46%– 13.10%) (Foottit et al. 2008). The NJ tree (Fig. 37) about the Aphis species feeding on Rubus supports the validity of the new species.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F287EA00320667D1C9ECBDC812FB9D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
