Distribution details in Cape Verde
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated
2011: Absent, unreliable record
S. aurantii was noted as "Present, no details" in this database, based on data from 1994. However, this was not associated with a reference. As Mound & Stiller (2011) do not include Cape Verde in the distribution list of S. aurantii, this record is now considered as unreliable.
