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.
