Material examined. IV0000245077 collected from Jeju Island by the author (15.II.2012) as reported in Blakemore et al. (2012, fig. 1) providing DNA sample (WM 17 in Appendix ) .

Remarks. Pan-tropical distribution by introduction; the original home is thought to be in Central/South America; it is fully described by Blakemore (2010b). Part of a species-complex ( Gates, 1972), previously noted without details from North Korea by Kobayashi (1941: 263, tab. 1) a record that appears to have been overlooked subsequently due to the old-style kanji used.
