Aphalara monticola
Aphalara monticola is a species of jumping plant louse in the family Aphalaridae, described by Hodkinson in 1973. Like other members of the genus Aphalara, this species is associated with host plants and exhibits the characteristic morphology of psyllids, including membranous wings held roof-like over the body and piercing-sucking mouthparts adapted for feeding on plant sap. The specific epithet 'monticola' suggests an association with mountainous habitats.
