Type locality. Wallacea marginata: ‘ Sereinu (Sipora)’ [= Indonesia, Mentawai, Sipora Is., Sereinu]; W. chunia: ‘ Java, Bandjar’ [= Indonesia, West Java, Banjar, 7°22.5′S, 108°32.5′S].
Distribution. Indonesia: Java (UHMANN 1935, 1953; KALSHOVEN 1957; REID 1998), Mentawai (GESTRO 1896).
Host plant. Arecaceae: Plectocomia sp. (KALSHOVEN 1957).
Remarks. REID (1998) published a record of this species from Zingiberaceae, however, it may be that the specimen was only an ocassional visitor of those plants and that the true host plant would be a palm as indicated by KALSHOVEN (1957). Therefore Reidʼs record is not cited as host plant.
