Remarks.

Invasive. Originally described from Central Asia, but now known to also occur across the Holarctic, and in Hawaii, India, Mexico, and South Africa ( WSC 2023). First recorded from Ascension Island as Camillina acanthognathus (Purcell, 1907) by Duffey (1964). Specimens collected in the 1990s by Philip and Myrtle Ashmole (University of Edinburgh) indicate it is still found on the island.
