Described from South Africa (S. aurantii<\/i>) and Ghana from Acacia sieberiana<\/i> (S. acaciae<\/i>).<\/p>\n

Distribution: Widespread over Africa from South Africa (including Madagascar, Reunion and Mauritius) to Egypt and Yemen in the north, also West Africa and Cape Verde Islands; introduced into Queensland, Australia. EPPO quarantine species (A1) in the Netherlands and in Great Britain on imported plants.
\nScirtothrips aurantii<\/em> is highly polyphagous and has been recorded on plants from over 30 families. It is considered a pest on mango (Mangifera indica<\/em>), but particularly on Citrus. <\/em>Feeding results in distortion of young leaves, but of greater economic importance is the surface scarring on citrus fruits leading to downgrading of a crop.<\/p>\n
