Remarks.
In Macau, adults are active from late spring to mid-summer and range in total length 15-18 mm and 6-7.5 mm in maximum width. Individuals are readily attracted to artificial lights at night, but are also active during the day while crawling and mating on dead tree surfaces. In Hong Kong,
Mangifera indica
and
Derris
spp. have been reported as food plants for the larvae of this species (
Yiu 2009
). Other host plants include
Derris trifoliata
,
Hevea brasiliensis
,
Mangifera indica
,
Quercus
sp.,
Shorea
sp. and
Terminalia
sp. (
Lin and Yang 2019
).
