This species is widely distributed throughout the tropics, and is considered to vector fungal pathogens in mango, but this is the result of widespread misidentification of the actual vector, Cryphalus dilutus Eichhoff ( Johnson et al. 2017) View in CoL . It feeds under the bark of twigs and trunks of mango. In the Pacific region, this species also occurs in Cook Islands, Hawaii, Samoa, and Micronesia ( Caroline Islands, Palau).
