Pemphigus monophagus
Pemphigus monophagus is a root-feeding aphid in the family Aphididae, described by Maxson in 1934. It belongs to the genus Pemphigus, which comprises aphids that typically form galls or inhabit root systems of host plants. Like other Pemphigus species, it is frequently misidentified in agricultural contexts and has been confused with other root-infesting aphids in online discussions.
