Distributional note. Many specimens of this species (68 exs.) were collected from a sticky-trap set at a height of 180 cm in Kinki university mango hothouses in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan by Horikawa et al. (2005). We have not seen these specimens and we consider this report to be a misidentification.
