Corrections to Morris and Mound (2004) 'Molecular relationships between populations of South African citrus thrips (Scirtothrips aurantii Faure) in South Africa and Queensland, Australia'

Abstract  Contrary to the statements by Morris and Mound (2004), Scirtothrips aurantii were first found outside the quarantine facility on mother-of-million plants ( Bryophyllum spp.) sourced from the western suburbs of Brisbane and in January 2003 the distribution of the thrips in south-eastern Queensland was from at least 20 km south-east and 70 km west of the detection site. Some records in South Africa of thrips from mother-of-million plants may not refer to this species.
