Tamalia coweni, also known as the manzanita leaf gall aphid and the fold-gall aphid, is a species of aphid in the family Aphididae.[1][2][3] Tamalia coweni induces galls on most species of glabrous manzanita tree.[4] This aphid actually induces two types of galls: a midrib or margin leaf gall, and a less common inflorescence gall.[4]
