Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated
1992: Absent, unreliable record
From NPPO: Absent, unreliable record
This record is based on a 1940s publication. It is, rather surprisingly, not confirmed by the Zimbabwe NPPO, since presence in Zimbabwe would seem reasonably plausible.
