Distribution
recorded in the study region from India (Andaman Is.), Laos, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam; also recorded from Sri Lanka, East & West Malaysia, Indonesia (Java, Maluku, Sumatra), Philippines
Host plants
polyphagous; Browne (1961b) suggests a possible preference for Dipterocarpaceae, but this may simply reflect the abundance of this family in the forests of the region
Remarks
Browne (1961b) describes the condition of attacked host material, the gallery system, and development of the species.
