Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated
2016: Absent, unreliable record
EPPO Reporting Service (2000/148) : reported on citrus in Jammu.
As this was the only record outside America, it was at that time considered doubtful. Other publications have reported the presence of the species in other states of India.
However, none of these publications are from trained taxonomists and Tyagi & Kumar (2016) do not list Scirtothrips citri. Previous records may be misindentification (e.g. with Scirtothrips dorsalis which causes damage on citrus).
