SCORE: 23.0 RATING: High Risk Qsn # Question Answer "Since the earliest records of P. pilosa from Florida and North Carolina, the species has spread to all southeastern states of the USA, including Texas, and inland to Tennessee, where it was found in 1978 (Kral, 1981). It was also found relatively recently in northern Louisiana (Matthews and Levins, 1985a). Matthews and Levins (1985b) discuss the spread of P. pilosa to the USA. Based on the ranges of variation in the species, including differences that prompted the untenable separation of southwestern specimens as P. mundula, they hypothesized two introductions: one from Mexico and another from the Caribbean. Whether this was a natural range extension is not discussed. Based on the available data from the southeast and pattern of historical reports, the species does seem to CABI. (2021).

In Australia the species probably arrived with ship ballast between 1870 and 1920, possibly with multiple introductions (Menkins, 2015). In Africa, all available records are from the last several decades (Löve, 1987; Maroyi, 2006; CJB, 2015). In Asia the species was first found in Taiwan in 1929 (Xu et al., 2012; IBCAS, 2015), in China in Fujian in 1933 and Guangdong in 1974 (IBCAS, 2015), and in Singapore around 1922-1925 and Hong Kong in 1954 (Corlett, 1988).
