A Review of the Biology of Cerataphidini (Hemiptera, Aphididae, Hormaphidinae), Focusing Mainly on Their Life Cycles, Gall Formation, and Soldiers
TLDR
The life cycles of cerataphidines are basically the same as those of the subfamily Eriosomatinae, but in tropical and subtropical regions their life cycles are not very rigidly tuned to seasonal changes in the climate if any.

Soldiers of a European gall aphid,Pemphigus spyrotecae (Homoptera: Aphidoidea): Why do they molt?
TLDR
It was found that the thick-legged larvae of a non-migratory aphid,Pemphigus spyrothecae, play a defensive role, hence they may be called soldiers, and this hypothesis is supported strongly by the fact that the normal-legged 1 st-instar larvae very much resemble the 1st-in star larvae of migratoryPemPHigus species produced on the secondary hosts.

Males ofTrichogramma sp., a gregarious parasitoid which attacks eggs of the yellow-legged tussock mothIvela auripes (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), are polymorphic for wings. In mating within host eggs,…

Nipponaphis species (Aphididae: Hormaphidinae) that form green galls on Distylium racemosum in Japan
TLDR
Molecular phylogenetic analyses of aphid samples collected from both their galls and secondary hosts indicated the occurrence of four species in Japan: N. distychii, N. loochooensis and N. machilicola, which turned out to be a junior synonym of N. litseae.

A test of geometric hypotheses for soldier investment patterns in the gall producing tropical aphidCerataphis fransseni (Homoptera, Hormaphididae)
TLDR
Soldiers are produced soon after colony foundation and the number of soldiers increases nonlinearly during colony growth, which suggests that soldiers are produced to defend an area, for example the perimeter of the colony or the surface of the gall.
