Notes
The hosts and biology of this species was previously unknown. This species breeds in 1.2-2.5 cm branches of C. inermis (new host recorded). Each gallery (n = 15) contained 2– 3 egg clusters. Progeny numbers ranged from 25–38 at various developmental stages. The recorded sex ratio was highly female-biased, ranging from 24: 1 to 38: 1 (n = 5). In comparatively dry branches of C. innermis , brood size was significantly reduced, with only 5–6 progeny (n = 5) and a single egg cluster per gallery.
