Figure 13

Distribution. Indonesia (West Timor). Australia (Queensland). Papua New Guinea (mainland). Solomon Islands (Guadalcanal).

Male lure. Methyl eugenol (weak attraction).

Host plants. Category D minor pest bred from mulberry in Australia (Vargas et al. 2015). Bred from Maclura cochinchinensis (Lour.) Corner and Morus nigra L. (Moraceae) in Australia (Hancock et al. 2000). Records in Papua New Guinea: EUPHORBIACEAE: Pimelodendron amboinicum. RUBIACEAE: Nauclea orientalis, Neolamarckia cadamba.

Notes. The Solomon Islands record is based on a single specimen collected in 1995 from a methyl eugenol trap in Dodo Creek (Guadalcanal) (Drew and Romig 2001).
