Scirtothrips aurantii[2] is a thrips pest of Citrus spp.,[3][4] Mangifera indica,[3][5] Musa × paradisiaca,[4] Musa acuminata,[4] and Camellia sinensis.[5]
Range
Native range
Native to Africa[6][4][5] and Yemen.[4]
Introduced range
- Australia ,[5][3] first detected in Brisbane, Queensland in 2002.[3] Surprisingly the usual infestation of Citrus is absent, and of Mangifera indica essentially absent.[3] This brings up several possible theories but none have been proven so far.[3]
- Spain ,[6][7] first detected September 28th 2020 in Cartaya and Lepe, Province of Huelva, Andalusia by traps laid out by the government - and simultaneously by a berry company nearby.[6] 12 municipalities in the province are under a phytosanitary order that will include insecticide treatment.[6]
As a biocontrol
S. aurantii is an effective biocontrol of Kalanchoe delagoensis (syn. Bryophyllum delagoense), also an invasive species of agricultural relevance in Australia.[3]
