Coloane Village, 1 May 2021, on wall under light in ablution block, R Perissinotto & L Clennell (IZCAS).

Remarks.

This is a new record for China. The specimen observed at Coloane exhibits a total length of 9 mm and a maximum width of 2.5 mm. Adult activity is presumably nocturnal and the specimen in question was obviously attracted to artificial light. No information is available in the literature on the larval food plant(s) or general biology of this species.
