This species is newly recorded from Bhutan.

New record. Bhutan, Gedu, 6.viii.[19]85, AF Padgham, ex Trewia nudiflora, CIE A 17491 (1) ( NMHL) .

Distribution. Throughout the Oriental region from the Indian subcontinent through Southeast Asia, Indonesia to New Guinea and the Pacific islands; tropical Africa, Madagascar and the Seychelles.

Biology. Polyphagous (e.g. Browne 1961; Schedl 1963; Ohno et al. 1988, 1989). Mallotus (= Trewia ) nudiflorus ( Euphorbiaceae ) has not been recorded previously as a host tree. The species has some potential as a pest because of its deeply penetrating galleries and very wide host range ( Browne 1961; Schedl 1963).
