This species is recorded from the Seychelles and Ceylon, and it has a wide distribution in the Pacific. It is probably found on most of the islands of Polynesia. Its dissemination has been accomplished mostly by the aid of commerce.

The following specimens are in the Guam collections before me: one labeled "Island of Guam ", no. "1373", Fullaway; and 20 specimens taken from diseased papaya stalk, June 24, 1937, Oakley, no. 841.
