Sumario:SIMPLE SUMMARY: A new species of aphid, causing the formation of large galls on a sumac species endemic to Yunnan, China, is named and described. Molecular and morphological diagnostic criteria are provided, and digital specimen data made available. ABSTRACT: A new species of gall-forming aphid from China, Qiao jinshaensis gen. et sp. nov., is described from Rhus wilsonii Hemsl. Morphological identification and molecular analyses both support the establishment of a new genus. A diagnosis combining morphological and molecular characters from alate viviparae is provided and specimen metadata are published in an open-access and machine-readable format.
