Reported on the Cook Islands in the present study. Known only from Rarotonga. Other locations include: French Polynesia (Marquesas) ( Klyver 1932).

No host plants have been previously proposed ( Burckhardt and Mifsud 2003; Ouvrard 2018). In June 2002, however, Percy (pers. comm.) collected a high number of adult specimens (> 30) from Weinmannia parviflora in French Polynesia (Marquesas) with no specimens found on surrounding plants.
