Description
Platypus lewisi Blandford
Platypus lewisi Blandford, 1894a: 134.
Recorded from Bhutan by Schedl (1975).
Distribution. Bhutan, China (Fujian), India (West Bengal), Japan, Korea, Nepal, Taiwan.
Biology. Polyphagous, recorded from a range of angiosperm trees (Wood & Bright 1992), possibly with a preference for Fagaceae (Beaver & Shih 2003), though this may simply reflect the relatively high abundance of the family in northern temperate zone forests.
