Other distributio n. India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Indonesia ( Liu & Beaver 2018).

Biology. Beeson & Bhatia (1937) record sixteen genera in ten different families as the host plants in India. In Thailand, the species has been collected from Albizzia saman (Jacq.) Merr. and Bauhinia variegata L. ( Fabaceae ), Bougainvillea sp. (Nyctaginaceae) , Mangifera indica L. ( Anacardiaceae ), Manihot esculenta Crantz (Euphorbiaceae) , Polyalthia longifolia (Sonn.) Thwaites (Annonaceae) ( Beaver et al. 2011). The species bores into small branch wood and twigs ( Beaver et al. 2011). Two to three generations a year are likely.
