Scirtothrips citri(SCITCI)

Distribution details in United States of America (Nevada)

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2021: Absent, unreliable record
Comments
Noted as present in Nevada by EFSA PLH (2018) based on Weeks et al. (2012). No other records were found. It may be a confusion with the presence of S. citri in the western foothill ridge of the Sierra Nevada in California.
