Introduction
Greenslade et al. (2007) reported this species has established on the subantarctic Macquarie Island, probably invading from New Zealand. Arthurdendyus vegrandis has the potential to be an important agricultural pest and it is important that stringent quarantine prevents the invasion of this species into Tasmania.
Distribution
IMCRA
Macquarie Island Province (24)
