Record numbers:

total: 2.
Remarks:
This species has a rather disjunct distribution (
McInnes 1994a
) that could indicate the need for further taxonomic analysis, especially in the light of numerous recently described
Doryphoribius
species (see Degma
et al.
2009–2014
and key in Michalczyk & Kaczmarek 2010). This was also confirmed in a recent discussion on the synonymy of
Doryphoribius flavus
and
Doryphoribius citrinus
by
Lisi (2011)
who states, “...the records of
D. flavus
in South
America
, in
South Africa
and in Bali are incorrect. This means the geographic distribution of
D. flavus
requires re-evaluation…”.
