Distribution. Aphthona pusilla is an African species described from Democratic Republic of Congo (LABOISSÈRE 1942), known also from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Guinea, Nigeria, Rwanda, Burundi and Sierra Leone ( SCHERER 1972, BIONDI 1994). Possibly it occurs also in Oman – reported as ‘ Aphthona sp. 1 ’ by DOGUET (1984a) (this record was repeated by MEDVEDEV 1996, but erroneously attributed to Saudi Arabia). First record from Socotra Island.
