NEW STATE RECORD
Horridipamera inconspicua
is widespread in the tropics from the Ethiopian Region to South Asia and
Japan
. It is sometimes abundant in its preferred habitat, which is early successional disturbed grassland mixed with
Euphorbiaceae
weeds. Its hosts are unknown, but it presumably prefers grass seeds (
Slater and Zheng, 1984
).
