The elongate valves of the male genitalia and the unusual bilobed sterigma of the female are also diagnostic. ♐Geographical range. found in Indomalaya and east Asia ♐Habitat preference. The species has been taken infrequently in lowland forest in recent surveys, but can attain pest levels. ♐Biology. The possibility that this species has been confused with others means that lists of host records need to be treated with some caution and may particularly overlap with those for Somena similis. No larval description has been located apart from those of Moore (1883), who may have confused Somena species and subnotata. Both his illustrations indicate the presence of tubercles on Al and A2, so these probably occur in subnotata. ♐Host records : Anacardium, Mangifera Cycas Hevea; Acacia, Sesbania ; Areca ; Citrus ; Litchi, Nephelium ; Sonneratia ; Theobroma © Harsh sharma Tags : @animalplanet @sonybbcearth @invert_macro @discovery @animalplanetindia @natgeo @natgeowild Hashtags : #igbest_shotz #igbest_macro #macrophoto #macrocaptures_ #macrogrammer #macro_spotlights #arthopod #macro_freaks_closeup #arthopod_perfection #macro_king #passioninmacro #beautiful_insects_japan #insects_of_our_word #grikart_makro #tgif_insects #cannon #macro_top #ig_capture #9gag #9vaga_macro #macros #mobile_photography300 #wildlife #macro_pic #king_macro
