Host plant. Sapindaceae : Acer sp. (new record).

Remarks. Shinohara (2019) mentioned, lA series of paratypes from Mt. Maruyama, Sapporo, were found on a limb or branch of maple tree ( Acer sp. ) (K. Kuroda, personal communica- tion), which is a likely host plant.z The emergence of a male adult from a dead and fallen branch of Acer sp. , as recorded above, has confirmed this host plant relationship.
