The type adults were reared from larvae collected in bamboo stumps, tree holes, and tin cans.[1][2] The limit of the species' distribution appears to be the Philippines,[3] including Subic Bay, Laguna, and Mount Makiling on the island of Luzon, and San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, on the island of Mindoro.[2]
