General distribution. Mediterranean basin, Near East, Central and Far Eastern Asia ( Japan), tropical and subtropical Africa and Asia, ( Ferrari et al. 2010), it is also known from Argentina to the southern half of United States.

Host plants. In cotton field ( Farahbakhsh 1961; Modarres Awal 1997b; Linnavuori 2004; Karimian & Khormali 2006; Ghahari et al. 2011a), Salix sp. ( Salicaceae ) near rice field ( Miyamoto 1963), on castor-bean, citrus, cucumber, melon, mulberry, tobacco, tomato, water-melon ( Farahbakhsh 1961; Modarres Awal 1997b), lucerne, pistachio, soybean ( Modarres Awal 1997b), Medicago sativa (Fabaceae) ( Modarres Awal 1996a; Mirabbalou et al. 2007), Citrus aurantium ( Rutaceae ) (Sakenin et al. 2008), Phragmites sp. ( Poaceae ), and Tamarix sp. ( Tamaricaceae ) (Linnavuori 2012). Ribes & Pagola Carte (2013) recall that N. viridula has been recorded on more than 150 plants belonging to many diverse families.

Comments. The variety N. viridula f. smaragdula (Fabricius, 1775) is distinguished by its reddish color, variety Nezara viridula f. torquata Fabricius, 1775 by the yellow collar on the pronotum; smaragdula seems to be an automnal form in western Europe; these forms are only color variations and have no taxonomic value.
