Comments
White & Tuck (1993) note that ‘a species of Ecdytolopha apparently different from Brazilian specimen’ has been recorded on orange [and Simarouba amara] in Dominica. Adamski & Brown (2001) attributed the record from Fennah (1942) (based on re-examination of specimens) to Gymnandrosoma trachycerus.
