Type. INPC

Distribution. E (Orange)

Host/habitat. Antonina graminis

Remarks. This species was originally imported from India in 1959 and established in Texas in a biological control program against Antonina graminis, and specimens from that program were released in Imperial County (Bartlett 1978c). Noyes (2000), referring to Bartlett (1978c), stated this species was also successfully used in California; however Bartlett (1978c: 139) reported only that a small number of the species had been released in California in 1968, and its success had not yet been assessed. However, there is a specimen (UCRC) collected from Orange County in 1992, indicating that the species is at least established here.
