Notes: This is the first record of P. nigra in Uzbekistan. It was found only on ornamental Ficus benjamina and F. elastica in urban green areas and nurseries. Given the expansion potential and polyphagous nature of P. nigra, systematic monitoring of ornamental nurseries and agricultural areas is recommended. https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5777.1.11
