  8. Nature of the urgent problem(s) and reasons for urgent action: In January 2022, 
SAG officially notified the National Agrarian Health Service (SENASA) that in two 
shipments of fresh mangoes ( Mangifera indica ) coming from Peru, the presence of live 
insects - Selenaspidus articulatus , a quarantine pest for Chile, and Mycetaspis personata  
(Comst), an alien pest for Chile - had been detected during the phytosanitary  inspection

quarantine pest for Chile, was again detected in two shipments of fresh mangoes 
(Mangifera indica ) coming from Peru during the phytosanitary inspection conducted at 
points of entr y.
