Distribution. Antigua, Bahamas, Bequia, Cuba, Dominica, Grand Cayman, Guana, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Martinique, Mustique, St. Croix, St. Lucia, St. Thomas, St. Vincent, Union. The subspecies L. a. guadeloupensis Dillon 1957: 150 is reported in Puerto Rico, St. Barthélemy, St. Eustatius , St. Martin-St. Maarten, St. John. The subspecies L. a. insulorum Dillon 1957: 150 is distributed on various islands of the southern Lesser Antilles, including Martinique. Five other subspecies are elsewhere in the West Indies (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao), USA (FL), Mexico to Panama, and northern South America ; widespread New World. Introduced to Tahiti and Hawaii. Notes. Polyphagous on many tree genera, especially Bursera simaruba (L.) Sarg. especially in dry zones. The emergence holes of adult beetles from the tree are through large, conspicuous, circular “trap-doors” cut through the bark of the host tree, which are sometimes still attached to the tree. The holes under the bark are feeding chambers and pupation takes place deeper in the tree.
