Shih (5116) (NTU). Distribution . Japan ( Takahashi, 1958 ); Taiwan ( Takahashi, 1932 ). The record from Hong Kong by Martin & Lau (2011) refers to T. crypta sp. nov. Host plants . Machilus sp. ( Lauraceae ) ( Takahashi, 1932 ), Actinodaphne sp., Cinnamomum zeylanicum , Cinnamomum sp. ( Lauraceae ) ( Takahashi, 1933 ); Neolitsea [ Tetradenia sp.] sp. ( Lauraceae ) ( Takahashi, 1935 ); Eurya loquaiana (Pentaphylacaceae) , Litsea hypophaea , Machilus zuihoensis (Lauraceae) (new records). Remarks . Takahashi (1935) recorded two hosts, Actinodaphne sp. and Cinnamomum sp. for T . actinodaphnis , and mentioned his fresh collections of T . machili were commonly found on these hosts, thus, he included both host plants for T . machili and also referred to Takahashi (1933) . The examined syntypes and other puparia determined by Takahashi have a pair of tubercles cluster on pigmented submedian area of metathorax, whereas the puparia of T . actinodaphnis lack such tubercles cluster. However, freshly collected puparia did not show such pigmentation. Puparia examined from Litsea acuminata had dorsal tubercles twice longer than those from Machilus zuihoensis . Examination of a large number of puparia mounted by Takahashi, type specimens of T . actinodaphnis and our fresh collections revealed that the elevation of dorsal tubercles bearing seta varies in T . machili , but the “position of setae” and their number remained constant in all the specimens examined in this study, and this supports separation of T . machili from T . actinidaphnae along with other characteristics- the position of vasiform orifice anterior to puparial caudal margin. In adult males, the upper and lower lobes of compound eyes were joined by three facets ( Fig. 41 ) and two facets in females. Antenna seven segmented ( Figs 43, 44 ), 4 primary sensoria, two on segment III, subapically and one each on V and VII; 3 sensorial cones, one each on segment III, V and VII. Claspers with subapical tooth and inflatable sacs ( Fig. 45 ). Puparia of Aleurocanthus woglumi (Ashby) , Dialeuropora decempuncta (Quaintance and Baker) and Rhachisphora machili Takahashi were found feeding on same host plant leaves.
