Distribution in Egypt. ( Porcelli and Pellizzari 2019).

Note. Porcelli and Pellizzari (2019) stated that this record refers to an interception at the Rome’s airport (Ciampino) off an infested Schefflera sp. ( Araliaceae ) imported from Egypt, 17.VI.1994, determined by Marotta. It is a very polyphagous species known to occur in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Pacific Islands; its presence in Egypt needs to be confirmed by a collection of the species in Egypt.
