Grapholita funebrana(LASPFU)

Distribution details in Japan

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2016: Absent, invalid record
From NPPO: Absent, invalid record
Comments
The NPPO of Japan confirmed to CABI (2016) that the record published in Danilevsky & Kuznetsov (1968 - and later used in other publications) was erroneous, probably due to some taxonomic confusion with Grapholita cerasifera. G. funebrana does not occur in Japan.
