Comments.

All specimens of this adventive species were captured in Lindgren funnel traps. In Europe, this species has been associated with Polygonum hydropiper L. and Polygonum mite Schrank ( Polygonaceae ) ( Anderson and Korotyaev 2004); host associations in North America are likely also with Polygonum species.
