This paper provides a first report of Aleurocanthus camelliae, the Camellia spiny whitefly, from Italy. The pest was found on plants of Camellia spp. grown in the nursery. Brief morphological and biological information is provided on this whitefly, as well as some considerations on the phytosanitary measures to be adopted to reduce the potential risk of its spread on ornamental plants in Europe and the EPPO region.
