BIOLOGY. One specimen was collected from Castanopsis diversifolia (Kurz) King ex Hook.f. ( Fagaceae ) ( Fig. 5 A View Fig ) and more than ten specimens were observed on the same species of tree. This allows us to count it within the host plants of the lanternfly. Penthicodes ( Ereosoma) atomaria was also found on other species of tree, such as Lagerstroemia macrocarpa Wall. ex Kurz ( Lythraceae ) ( Fig. 5 B View Fig ), Lagerstroemia loudonii Teijsm. & Bin ( Lythraceae ) and Ficus sp. ( Moraceae ), confirming that it is probably polyphagous.

DISTRIBUTION. Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand ( Fig. 6 View Fig ) and Vietnam ( CONSTANT, 2010).
