Ecological niche modeling and first records from Namibia and Zimbabwe validate the amphi-equatorial distribution of Byrsinus pseudosyriacus (Hemiptera: Cydnidae) - Supplementary data

Byrsinus pseudosyriacus (Linnavuori, 1977), the most widely distributed Afrotropical species of the genus Byrsinus Fieber, 1860 known hitherto only from the Sudano-Eremian area is for the first time reported in two countries south of the Equator. The species potential distribution map was generated using the ecological niche modelling (ENM) methods that allowed this species to be regarded as amphi-equatorial in distribution.
