Macau records.
Coloane, Cheoc Van, on coastal vegetation, 18 May 2019, R Perissinotto & L Clennell (IZCAS); ibidem 19 May 2020, R Perissinotto & L Clennell; ibidem 22 May 2020, R Perissinotto & L Clennell (MACT); Coloane, Aldeia Road, 16 May 2020 17:55, Annie Lao (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/46079399).
Remarks.
Since this species was originally described on the basis of a single specimen,
Rondon and Breuning (1970)
suggested that it may have represented a natural hybrid between the more common and widely distributed
Eutaenia trifasciella
(White, 1850) and
E. corbetti
Gahan, 1893. It differs from the closely related
E. trifasciella
from Hong Kong mainly by having the apical four antennomeres with basal parts lightly testaceous rather than completely black and the black marking on pronotum extending to both anterior and posterior margins, instead of forming only a middle transverse black stripe. In Macau, adults are active only in late spring and range in total length 20.5-23 mm and 6-7 mm in maximum width. They are strictly diurnal and feed on the bark of coastal shrubs (RP & LC pers. obs.).
