Tuberculatus is a genus of aphids belonging to the family Aphididae, [1] and was first described in 1894 by Aleksandr Mordvilko. [1]

Contents

The genus has cosmopolitan distribution. [2]

Aphids of this genus feed on trees from the family Fagaceae (beeches, chestnuts, oaks). [3]

Aphids are plant pests and also vectors of plant diseases. [4] Hence, the symbiotic relationships of Tuberculatus species with both ants [5] [6] and bacteria [7] has been extensively studied to discover both their co-evolutionary and ecological relationships. [4]
