Tuberculatus is a genus of aphids belonging to the family Aphididae, and was first described in 1894 by Aleksandr Mordvilko.
The genus has cosmopolitan distribution.
Aphids of this genus feed on trees from the family Fagaceae (beeches, chestnuts, oaks).
Aphids are plant pests and also vectors of plant diseases. Hence, the symbiotic relationships of Tuberculatus species with both ants and bacteria has been extensively studied to discover both their co-evolutionary and ecological relationships.
