Comments
EPPO Reporting Service (2007/152) : the NPPO of France confirmed that B. californicus is absent from France. The record was based on an erroneous translation in the American literature (Pritchard & Baker, 1958) of a French publication from André (1953) which in fact stated the absence of the pest.
