Defra (2015) noted that "Adult females were identified as S. citri from sticky traps in a glasshouse at a botanical garden in southern England during surveys for S. dorsalis in 2008: – single individuals in “sticky trap condition” with no supporting context. Measures were being taken already for S. dorsalis, and there have been no findings since".
