Eastern Asia. Distribution . Afghanistan , Armenia , Australia , China , Ethiopia , Georgia , India , Indonesia , Korea , Japan , Malaysia , Papua New Guinea , the Philippines , Sri Lanka , and Tanzania . In Europe accidentally introduced in Russia ( Gnezdilov 2008 ; Dmitriev 2018 ). First record and country in Europe . 2007, Russia ( Krasnodar Territory) ( Gnezdilov 2008 ). Host plant . Polyphagous species. In China H. sellatus is common on Morus alba , Rosa spp. , and Ziziphus jujuba ( Hao et al. 2015 ) . Remarks . This species is similar to Hishimonus truncatus Kuoh, 1976 ( China ) , but H. sellatus can be identified by the short, broadly lamellate, laterally concave aedeagal shafts; the female sternite VII nearly twice as wide as long, posterior margin slightly curved with two median denticles separated by a tiny notch and second valvulae with dorsal teeth small and not prominent ( Du & Dai 2019 ). H. sellatus in Georgia and in southern Russia is recorded as a vector of ‘Mulberry small leaf curl’ a phytoplasma disease on mulberry plants ( Gnezdilov 2008 ).
