Ceratitis capitata(CERTCA)

Distribution details in China (Hubei)

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2016: Absent, invalid record
From CABI Pest map 001 (2016): Present, no details
Comments
The record in Hubei based on a paper by Lu et al. (2006) and published in the 2016 version of the CABI/EPPO map no. 1 is invalid. This problem arose when translating the abstract into English. The paper refers to the Chinese citrus fly, Bactrocera minax, and not to C. capitata.
