EPPO Global Database

Aphis citricidus(TOXOCI)

Distribution details in Chile

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2015: Absent, invalid record
From CABI Pest map 132 (1998): Present, widespread
From NPPO: Absent, unreliable record
Comments
Earlier versions of the database mentioned 'widespread from IV to VI Regiones, on lemon and orange trees', however the source of the infomation could not be fully traced (probably Prado, 1991).

EPPO Reporting Service (2015/074) : the literature survey conducted by Nieto Nafria et al. (2015) has showed that all published records were in fact based on invalid interpretation of old taxonomy which had been repeated in subsequent publications.
