Distribution details in Colombia

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2013: Absent, invalid record
From CABI Disease map 426 (2006): Present, no details
Comments
R. fascians does not occur in Colombia (and is a quarantine pest).

The CABI map no 426 (2006) erroneously used a publication from Misra et al. (1982) to substantiate a record in Colombia, but Colombia is not even mentioned in this paper.
