					Depth range is based on occurrence in Papua New Guinea (Ref. 100692); to be replaced with a better reference. It is found on the upper foliage and trunk (Ref. 112937) of mangroves R. apiculata, R. mucronata, A. alba, A. marina, S. griffithii, S. alba, L. racemosa, C. decandra, C. tagal, B. cylindrical, X. granatum, A. rontundifolia and the palm Nypa fruticans (Ref. 110211).
