Abstract
Tamalia (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Tamaliinae), a Nearctic aphid genus, is associated with galls on woody plants in the family Ericaceae (Arctostaphylos spp., Arbutus arizonica, and Comarostaphylis diversifolia). Tamalia cruzensis Miller and Pike, n. sp., Tamalia glaucensis Miller and Pike, n. sp., and Tamalia moranae Miller and Pike, n. sp. are described and illustrated. Two of these, T. cruzensis and T. moranae, represent host plant records for Tamalia on genera other than Arctostaphylos spp. Character measurements, comparisons, and descriptions; DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 sequences; geographic distributions; seasonal occurrence; biology; and host plant associations are provided, along with diagnoses and a key to the known species based on the gall-inhabiting apterous adult stage.
