Material examined.
USA – Hawaiian Islands · 7 ♂, 7 ♀, 10 immatures; O‘ahu, Mānoa, UH; 8 Jul. 2013; S. Nelson leg.; ex Pittosporum tobira; coll. 2013-211; HDAB, USNM · 1 ♂, 1 ♀; O‘ahu, Pāwa‘a; 9 Jul. 2013; M.

Wong leg.; ex Pittosporum tobira; coll. 2017-126; HDAB.
Host plant in HI.
Pittosporum tobira (Pittosporaceae).
Additional distribution and host plant records.
Native to Asia (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan); adventive in California, North and South Carolina (Miyatake 1964; Percy et al. 2012; Bertone 2016), intercepted but not considered established in Florida (Halbert and Burckhardt 2020). The host plant in HI is the only recorded host.
Remarks.
First collected in 2013, heavily infesting Pittosporum tobira from Pāwa‘a through Mānoa, Honolulu, O‘ahu areas (Matsunaga et al. 2019). Possibly now under control by parasitoids, although active removal of many of the host plants may also have impacted survival. Immatures are free-living.
Genetic resources.
GenBank e. g., OR 074490 [Florida specimen]. A number of other accession numbers for this species can be found on GenBank.
