Podocarpus Aphid
Neophyllaphis podocarpi is an aphid species in the subfamily Neophyllaphidinae, known as the podocarpus aphid. It is specialized on Podocarpus species (Podocarpaceae), a genus of coniferous trees. The species was first described from Japan in 1920 and has since been recorded in multiple regions including Hawaii, Italy, the Azores, and the Iberian Peninsula. Its spread appears linked to horticultural trade of host plants.
