Abstract

The aphid Phyllaphoides bambusicola Takahashi, 1921 is reported for the first time from South Korea. During field surveys conducted between 2023 to 2024, the presence of P. bambusicola infesting Phyllostachys bambusoides was discovered in western South Korea. A detailed morphological description and measurements of alate viviparous females are provided, along with photographs of both live and slide-mounted specimens. The observed severe infestation suggests potential threats to bamboo cultivation in Korea, highlighting the need for monitoring of this invasive species.
