The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of (Hemiptera: Coccidae), the green shield scale, for the EU. was originally described from Hawaii on sp. and it is now established in many countries in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Within the EU, the pest has been reported from mainland Spain and the Canary Islands. is not listed in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. It is highly polyphagous, feeding on 230 plant species belonging to more than 70 botanical families with preference for avocado (), citrus ( spp.), coffee ( sp.), guava (), litchi (), mango (), mulberry ( sp.) and pomegranate (). It has also been recorded feeding on some solanaceous plants: tomato () and pepper (), as well as on ornamental plants. Climatic conditions and availability of host plants in southern EU countries would most probably allow this species to successfully establish and spread. Economic impact in cultivated hosts including citrus, mangoes, mulberries, as well as vegetable and ornamental crops is anticipated if establishment occurs. Indeed, . has already been reported causing damage to , a widely used ornamental tree that lines streets in Valencia. There is contradictory information regarding impact in mangoes in Spain. This could be due to the relatively recent establishment of the pest. Phytosanitary measures are available to reduce the likelihood of entry and further spread. meets the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for this species to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest.
欧洲食品安全局植物健康专家组对绿盾蚧（半翅目：蚧科）进行了欧盟有害生物风险分类。绿盾蚧最初是在夏威夷从一种[寄主植物名称未给出]上描述的，现在已在世界热带和亚热带地区的许多国家定殖。在欧盟境内，该有害生物已在西班牙大陆和加那利群岛有报告。绿盾蚧未列入欧盟委员会实施条例（EU）2019/2072的附件II。它食性极广，取食属于70多个植物科的230种植物，尤其偏好鳄梨（[植物名称未给出]）、柑橘（[柑橘属植物名称未给出]种）、咖啡（[咖啡属植物名称未给出]种）、番石榴（[植物名称未给出]）、荔枝（[植物名称未给出]）、芒果（[植物名称未给出]）、桑（[桑属植物名称未给出]种）和石榴（[植物名称未给出]）。也有记录表明它取食一些茄科植物：番茄（[植物名称未给出]）和辣椒（[植物名称未给出]），以及观赏植物。欧盟南部国家的气候条件和寄主植物的可获得性很可能会使该物种成功定殖并扩散。如果定殖发生，预计对包括柑橘、芒果、桑以及蔬菜和观赏作物在内的栽培寄主会产生经济影响。实际上，[绿盾蚧]已被报告对[一种广泛用于瓦伦西亚街道绿化的观赏树，名称未给出]造成损害。关于其对西班牙芒果的影响存在相互矛盾的信息。这可能是由于该有害生物定殖时间相对较近。现有植物检疫措施可降低其传入和进一步扩散的可能性。绿盾蚧符合欧洲食品安全局评估该物种被视为潜在欧盟检疫性有害生物职权范围内的标准。
