It is regarded as a possible likely to establish and invasive species as it is spread in Australia if frequently intercepted introduced. by quarantine inspections in the United States. Mealybugs feed on sap, stressing their host plants and reducing the yield of commercial crops. The production of honeydew by mealybugs also promotes the growth of sooty moulds, which reduces the marketability of fruit (CABI 2018). Parasaissetia nigra Yes (García Morales et Yes.
