Rhododendraphis tuatayae gen. n., sp. n. living on Rhododendron sp. (Ericaceae) in Turkey is described based on apterous viviparous females. The new genus is morphologically most similar to Rostratusaphis Fang and Qiao, 2009, but differs in several important characters. Differences between the new genus and other aphid genera with a spinulose second tarsal segment living on Rhododendron spp. worldwide are described. Type specimens are deposited at the Natural History Museum of London (BMNH).
基于无翅胎生雌蚜,描述了在土耳其寄生于杜鹃属植物(杜鹃花科)上的新属——图塔亚杜鹃蚜属(Rhododendraphis tuatayae)及新种。新属在形态上与2009年的方乔喙蚜属(Rostratusaphis Fang and Qiao)最为相似,但在几个重要特征上有所不同。描述了新属与世界范围内其他寄生于杜鹃属植物且跗节II有小刺的蚜属之间的差异。模式标本保存于伦敦自然历史博物馆(BMNH)。
