Distribution details in Argentina

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2006: Present, restricted distribution
Comments
Sometimes said to be native, but that would imply a markedly disjunct distribution. In any case, the nature of its insect herbivorous fauna suggests that it is introduced.

EPPO Reporting Service (2006/018) : recorded in 1971 in one province.
