Other distribution: Native to the Indo-Malaysian region ( Wood 1977), but now almost circumtropical as a result of commerce ( Dole & Beaver 2008). Intercepted in Japan in timber imported from the Oriental region. (6)

Biology: The biology has been studied by Browne (1961a) and Kalshoven (1961). These and other studies are reviewed by Schedl (1963) and Le Pelley (1968). The species has some economic importance as a pest of coffee ( Kalshoven 1961, Le Pelley 1968) and of other crop trees.
