Platypus lewisi Blandford, 1894a: 134 View in CoL .

Recorded from Bhutan by Schedl (1975).

Distribution. Bhutan, China (Fujian), India (West Bengal), Japan, Korea, Nepal, Taiwan.

Biology. Polyphagous, recorded from a range of angiosperm trees ( Wood & Bright 1992), possibly with a preference for Fagaceae ( Beaver & Shih 2003) , though this may simply reflect the relatively high abundance of the family in northern temperate zone forests.
