Horridipamera inconspicua (Dallas)

NEW STATE RECORD

Horridipamera inconspicua is widespread in the tropics from the Ethiopian Region to South Asia and Japan. It is sometimes abundant in its preferred habitat, which is early successional disturbed grassland mixed with Euphorbiaceae weeds. Its hosts are unknown, but it presumably prefers grass seeds ( Slater and Zheng, 1984).
