Indomasonaphis anaphalidis was originally described from Anaphalis triplinervis in West Bengal, and has since been recorded from various other Compositae. These are the secondary host generations of a host­alternating aphid with Rhododendron as the primary host. The primary host generations were described from northern India as both Indomasonaphis indica and Indumasonaphis tuberculata . It is also recorded from Rhododendron in Pakistan ( Naumann­Etienne & Remaudière 1995, as Neomasonaphis tuberculata ).
