Abstract:[Aim] Opogona sacchari is an important invasive pest, harmful to brazilwood, sugarcane and numerous other ornamental plants and economic crops. Since the beginning of 1990s, this pest has established populations in Hainan, Guangdong, Shanghai and other provinces in China, and it might have the potential to further expand its distribution. The prediction of potential distribution of invasive species could provide valuable information for their subsequent monitoring and management.[Method] Based on the available occurrence records of O. sacchari, we calibrated four Maxent niche models on different geographical areas. To predict its potential distribution, we also used the weighted average method to integrate the four individual niche models into a consensus model.[Result] The predictions based on the four individual models were consistent for southern China, whereas inconsistent in northern and southwestern Xinjiang, eastern and western Heilongjiang, western Jilin, and central Shanxi. Result of the consensus model showed that eastern and southern China, and eastern coastal areas had high suitability for O. sacchari.[Conclusion] There are extensive suitable distributional areas for O. sacchari in China. Attention should be given to the invasion, and special efforts need be taken to prevent its further spread.
