DISTRIBUTION

Reported from Brazil (States of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo) ( Burckhardt & Basset 2000; Barbieri 2004; Burckhardt et al. 2011; Vitorino et al. 2011; Burckhardt & Queiroz 2012; Christ et al. 2010, 2013; Diaz et al. 2015a; Overholt et al. 2015) and Paraguay ( Burckhardt et al. 2011), here reported also from Brazil (State of Rio Grande do Sul). The country record from Paraguay needs confirmation because it is based only on the presence of pit galls on herbarium specimens of S. terebinthifolia .
