C. lividipennis was associated with Peregrinus maidis (Ashmead) on corn (see Usinger, Haw. Ent. Soc., Proc. 10: 271, 1939), the eggs of the fulgorid apparently being its preferred food. It was also common on rice where it preyed upon the eggs of Nilaparvata lugens (Stal) . It has been reported from Great Nicobar, Formosa, Java, Ceylon, Burma, Sumatra, Japan, the Philippines, China, and Samoa. It was introduced into the Hawaiian Islands recently in an effort to control the corn leafhopper, but did not become established.,
