Distribution
.
Thailand
(
Chaiyaphum
,
Nakhon Ratchasima
),
Philippines
* (Luzon,
Palawan
). (
Yasunaga & Duwal, 2015
).
Biology
. The immature form of this species is confirmed for the first time (
Fig. 2
G–H). A final instar nymph of
W
.
kaliyahae
, with the reddish general coloration, ovoid body shape and broad antennae, and was found on the inflorescence of an undetermined broadleaf in central montane
Thailand
. The nymph successfully developed into an adult (female,
Fig. 2
G–H). Almost all of other
Wygomiris
specimens were collected in light traps at night (cf.
Yasunaga, 2012
). Members of
Wygomiris
are presumed to be canopy-inhabitants.
