Notes

New to Iejima Is., these specimens were collected by visual searching and net-sweeping Macaranga tanarius ( Euphorbiaceae ) which is not recorded as a host plant of C. hastanus (Figs 3 b, 4 d, 5 b). This buprestid beetle is almost certainly associated with M. tanarius , because all specimens were collected only from the plant. In addition, Mallotus japonicus ( Euphorbiaceae ), which has been known as a host plant of this species, was not found in and around each collecting site, as far as we searched.
